Question

Who are the poorest of the poor?

Answer 1

A poor is an individual who does not have the minimum essential necessities of life. Women, infants and elderly are considered as the poorest of the poor. This is because, in a poor household, these people suffer the most and are deprived of the maximum necessities in life.

Examples

• Families of Street cobblers, push-cart vendors, rag pickers, women who sell flowers, beggars and vendors are some instances of poor and weak groups in our neighbourhoods.
• They lack the common necessities like a house, food, clothes and education.
