Poverty in India: The Chasm between Myth and Reality

Abstract

The current article examines India’s journey towards reducing poverty and development of social opportunities including it’s performance in creating quality education and healthcare facilities for it’s people since independence whilst arguing that much more needs to be done in order to lift the millions out of poverty. The article also looks at the different definitions on poverty proposed by scholars over the years whilst arguing that the Government must work towards creating an environment of inclusive growth because aggregate income or a high GDP rate would not mean much if it’s fruits are not widely shared among the people. In addition it also proposes that the government needs to work towards strengthening and improving the quality of education in government schools in the country along with providing quality healthcare facilities in primary healthcare centres in order to develop the basic capabilities of the people which would facilitate greater income generating opportunities for them.
