How can we evade Poverty in India?

[DRISHYA]

We all talk about poverty in india. Now lets talk about how we as an individual or groups can contribute in evading poverty and making it a better place for all of us to live?

[DRISHYA]

Good topic:SugarwareZ-127:

dude.... can i have your comments on it?

[deepakraam]

Help an NGO financially and help the poor atleast for a day/yr .As an individual this cud be a simplest way to contribute to the society.


-Deepak.

[snehal shendge]

we talk about helping poor by financially helping the ngo but who knows what the NGO does?do we personally go to see whether they really go and help the poor.so we must take the initiatives to educate atleast the street children so that they atleast know the basics of education.atleast the basics of maths so that in their lives they are not cheated by anyone.

[nitinpahuja]

Poverty in India is a vicious circle as there is virtually no information with the poor about how to get rid of it. India today is a knowledge oriented economy and if my historical knowledge goes well than the knowledge revolution has been so far the most profound and most influencing factor when it comes to facilitating financial inclusion and alleviating income disparities. Therefore in my opinion poverty alleviation can be very well expedited through value creation in the villages and today with the advent of wireless techno its not that diff given that the ppl like us who have the resources think about it and have some individual social responsibilty. Forums such as Mp and Pg do certainly facilitate the cause when it comes to info that is related to high expertise degrees but there are not many sites that promote learning that is relevant to the poor and help them bridge this rich and poor intellectual divide. the govt has also been very lethargic when it comes to setting up wireless knowledge stations in d villages which in my opinion are gonna be much economical than setting up skools and then paying the irregular teachers.
What i wanna accentuate is that its not about making the poor graduates and postgraduates but more about telling them how they can actually get out of this seemingly impregnable problem of poverty and this is possible through knowledge which once there would stimulate their own creativity to attain what they deserve in life.

Sometimes the journey is more satisfying then the destination.

as the education is main important for the development of the
countryy govt should give top priority for education in budget
and allocate more funds ,, and it should make ensure
that the allocated funds are utilised properlyy

and every citizens should take initiative in donating
some part of their earnings to the NGO's
but who knows wht happens inside the NGO's

Dude as per a world bank report India is spending enough on education but the application as you have mentioned is really defunct as only 40%gets deployed. Also as per an editorial in TOI by swaminathan aiyyar india boasts one of the highest rates of functional illiteracy so having spending more would not help much and if we consider the fact that the budget this time did contribute more towards education in both percentage and real terms however the fm was criticized for not managing a big percentage increase but we must acknowledge that the gdp grew by 9% so there was a derivative increase any how but yes things can be done better if some part of this budget is spent in establishing a `robust vigil mechanism for rational spending.

[DRISHYA]

Well, if people are thinking about providing finance to NGO's to their capacities but are doubtful about the functioning of that NGO then people should personally visit those NGOs. We can volunteer along with them in our free time or ask them to send a report about how their money was utilised. The best way is go urself n see n do..... donate non monetary things like clothes.... books, raw materials (of some handicraft item) n train them under the supervision of these NGO's to make a final product n so on.

I am not asking about what our FM or country as a whole should be doing by changing our investment level in education n stuff. I am willing to know how you as an individual can make a difference in the lives of people below poverty line in your surrounding?

MOney helps to an extent. Why we are thinking so far we can just make a difference by educating street children as SNEHAL said or we can just start from educating our house maids..
Help those NGO's which are not just feeding poor people but teaching them a way of life but educating them about different unskilled jobs.

[Jayita]

Education 4 all the core of everythin, if the masses wil b educated then there will b scope 4 better jobs and better living standards n yess definately try creatin more job oppotunities for the lower classes reaching out to them having a trustworthy NGO .. there are many options but the point is can they ever be implemented? at a time wen only the rich wana get richer n the poor hv no choice!

[hawk31981]

Friends we need to accept the fact that poverty cannot be eliminated iven the most developed countries have a percentage of the population who face extreme poverty. Besides this education is not enough what is needed is education that will make people learn to be self sufficient by starting some small business of their own not just having degrees and then saying im a graduate and wont do this and that job i want ann office job else i will stay at home which is unluckily what happens in India. The best option in my opinion is to start self help grouls which will help people setup small businesses and besides this each of us needs to pt whatever preasure we can on the government to change the educational system in this country

[yk_srk]

did some body said..poverty, aah...do we need to remove that, please dont even try to do that...u will end up making rich people more richer, though it may sound radical, but it is true, we have had tried many schemes, programmes, initiatives, and all...but the end result is same, the moment u try to remove poverty by direct means, the problem is aggravated as it is eveident from various incidents, like for eg, indira gandhi awas yojna, a scheme initiated by the congress govt. to provide pukka houses to poor families in rural areas. some houses were infact built and transferred to poor families, but generally within a year those houses were sold by theitr owners, and they again came back on raod. similarly, the dharavi in mumbai, the biggest shanty town in world. people living there have been offered relocation and some have moved out only to return back.
as some body said. Give a man a fish, and he’ll eat for a day. Teach him how to fish and he’ll eat forever.
so my idea is, to generate as much opportunities as possible for one and all....so that people in themselves are ready to eradicate their poverty

May be this can be a potential ans do visit the page its something really appreciable

education and educated people taking responsible position

[kukrejanilesh]

if every person in this country does his work honestly...povery wil be eradicated

[Rathinavel.C]

We can evade poverty by motivating the students to from NGO.....

[trillionairegate]

Poverty can be evaded by executing different approach by the government poverty can be evaded by implementing effective policies which only targets the BPL people and more rehabilitation programmes for the upliftment of the lower class. This can be achieved only when the government join hands with the NGO's

[madronny]

[rahulgoyal1986]

The division of resources, as well as wealth, is very uneven in India – this disparity creates different poverty ratios for different states.

A number of factors are responsible for poverty in the rural areas of India. Rural populations primarily depend on agriculture, which is highly dependant on rain patterns and the monsoon season. Inadequate rain and improper irrigation facilities can obviously cause low, or in some cases, no production of crops.

[ed1968]

we should promote certain lvl of poverty tourism and learn teach grow if u ask me the poor are well developed to grow but the extreem top wants it all.

( example: Bombay slums have the highest level of interdependence and cooperation unity within each other :SugarwareZ-029::SugarwareZ-029:)

[ajenthrocks123]

the general mindset of the ppl must change.... as long ppl r ready to feed and live on others money poverty cannot be eradicated... there must be a change in the mind set of the ppl inorder to eradicate it..
the mind set includes even the politician... cause they play a major role in the common life of the ppl....

[balbalemahmer]

start asking questions.....become more serious....the answer in converting the nation from developing country to a developed nation lies within ourselves

[max_rox]

I think we all should stop giving money to those underprivileged....instead we can provide them with work worth their credit.

[niraj_hattangdi]

poverty is much related to population..the only possible ways that can can cure the poverty is education,self awareness and government...i am saying government because every city should get an equal opportunity..as in they are busy in makeover of mumbai in shanghai..but i think that let mumbai be as it is..just make it a bit secured and concentrate on the other cities,states of india.....if u create good opportunities in other cities also the employment force will be at their optimum utilization...for this, they have to create the same awareness as in mumbai, delhi, bangalore, chennai, etc..

[anu.bhat.k]

cut down poverty by educating ppl around..... tat might be a solution

[swapnil_patil]

Adequate Financial management and thus the optimum economic management along with social strenthening will help declining poverty.
best luck..

[prasadgoa]

we can invade poverty in India by creating job opprtunity, so to create job opprtunity we should have enterprenual skills

[raj4tex]

Educate the people, Start creating the opportunity for earning in stead of donation.

Also estabishment of honesty in the system is necessary and every individual will have to discharge their responsibilty.

[confused21]

education is the key to eradicate poverty........''each one teach one'' if we implement this in our lives then each one of us can contribute a great deal in removing poverty from our nation

[kamalpaad]

Lets first eradicate our social differences and accept them as our neighbours......
Spend some time atleast week to understand their problems.....try getting a good solution if possible,....Try to take thier problems to higher authorities.......and spend some time in teaching them social etiquette...teach them and their children the importance of education....and you be a person who can make a change than always depending on others.....

[ashpt33]

by reducing the population or by evading the corrupt govt officials...netas included...nai to ek atom bomb hi explode kardo...jo marenge wo bhi sukhi...jo bachenge wo bhi sukhi..wat say guys???

[amolshah4u]

Just like 2 say in one sentence.....choose a good leader............evrythin wud b changed...need a dude like obama.....

[samiksha_hi]

Evading poverty can only be done once poverty is completely eradicated ....

[gpuneetg]

only and only by educate more n more ppl...

[anyzen]

Better Governance, Proper implementation, Programmes for BPL people, National Integrated Identification System. Employment creation for BPL people are the ways to evade poverty

[neha20092009]

start asking questions.....become more serious....the answer in converting the nation from developing country to a developed nation lies within ourselves

[raj4tex]

begin with changing these debase leaders..........

[sau953]

by changing our priorities..........simple......

is our priority to buy rs. 1000 crore worth of submarines ( which we are never gonna use)

or to provide cheap credit facility to our farmers.


just one thought

[pdandriyal]

By educating everyone and controlling population. So simple.

[YogeshTheDevil]

Poverty removal from India couldn't be done in a single shot - in a single month or year - it would take long time - through empowerment of public - through education, and yes, allocation and utilization of funds in a proper, accountable way. It cannot be done by the government alone - because now the population of our country has grown to an unmanageable level. There couldn't be a single, central solution to it. It would require participation from all - even those who are not affected by it. Not that a new law or floating new poverty tackling organizations need to be floated - existing ones - laws, as well as organization (Govt, NGO etc) are enough for it. Only thing needed is a will from all of us to work for it - to come forward to empower people - even if it means teaching a kid around who cannot to school. Help people -even if it means helping them to get some work done without bribes, or without payments to middlemen. Probably this could be one of the way to grow - slowly - into a more aware, and yes a rich one too, nation.

[shareczar]

we can if we jus c d figures people under poverty line have come down from 60 percent in 1981 to 42 percent in 2005 and presently stable at 25% in 2008....

education helps to a large extent, employment opportunities 2 b improved......the govt waivers etc vil substantially reduce the poverty line.....

[8rahuls]

We can not make policies for obvious reasons but what i think is if all of us so called educated people can sponsor the education of even one poor child tehn we can make a difference.

[kantya316]

Poverty is required to maintain balance in the system, though excess poverty is what we can try to reduce and contantly strive to acheive.
the reason i say is because is because recently in chattisgarh rice was being sold @<hidden> Rs.2/kg and labours there worked for few days and rested for all the month. The people who wanted maid,servants,labours could not find any.

[savio13]

We all talk about poverty in india. Now lets talk about how we as an individual or groups can contribute in evading poverty and making it a better place for all of us to live?

EDUCATION - it is the need of the time to make every one literate and by literate not only to read and write but also to gain knowledge and degrees..

The question comes with less fortunate families who cannot afford but that too can be taken care off by the government through its various schemes..

[mba.informationtechnology]

How can we evade Poverty in India.................no one ever can ans it..properly...............mind my words........properly

[ruckfules]

[mba.informationtechnology]

[jigar pobari]

this question is very difficult to answer bosssssss...... its impossible to evade poverty

[savio13]

To evade poverty we should:

Encourage people towards education

Give a small part of income to NGO that support education to the poor

Use electricity & water sparingly? Save power

Use public transport rather than our own means...

[vshah]

According to me evading poverty is a difficult and a far distant dream but at the same time it is not impossible. It is of great importance that we the young generation of this country should work together with the same vision to eradicate poverty from our country.

[USMBA]

Hi,

This is a nice topic. My opinion is if we need to eradicate poverty then we need to change our political structure. All the good policies are going down because of these power and money greedy politicians.

Regards,
Bala

[greatdude10]

Poverty can be evaded by employment & equitable distribution of wealth

[giriraj84]

well i think the ROOT CAUSE OF POVERTY are us!!!

so each one should be responsible in thinking abt the society when we are doing some activity..example avoid wasting foods in parties and functions..just because we cld afford it,doesnt mean we could waste it right.this must be adapted to all causes right frm spending lavishly on all basic requirement.

BUT MORE THAN THAT WE NEED A PRO ACTIVE GOVERNING PEOPLE IN THE GOVERNMENT.THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD HAVE A REAL TIME MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR ALL KIND OF WORKS.

WE AND WE AS A CITIZEN SHOULD REALIZE THAT THERE IS PLENTY OF WORK WHICH IS ENOUGH TO FEED OURSELVES.TODAY THERE IS HEAVY SHORTAGE IF LABOUR IN ALL INDUSTRIES .KEEPING THIS IN MIND THE GOVT MUST TAKE STEPS TO MAKE THESE PPL WORK THR WHICH MUCH START WITH AGRO INDUSTRY..

AVOID GIVIN FREEBIES..BETTER PAY THEM THE RIGHT COST FOR THEIR PRODUCTS AND IN CASE OF LOSS SUPPORT THEM.WHAT DO WE GET WHEN WE FACE LOSS BUT WHEN WE PAY OUR SHARE OF PROFIT!

HIGH TIME WE THINK
GOVTS ARE READY TO BAILOUT BIG FRAUDS LIKE SATIYAM WHR HE CHEATED IN CRORES OF THOUSANDS AND THEY CANT ACT AGAINST HIM..

AVOID CORRUPTION!
AVOID GREEDINESS!
WORK RESPONSIBLY!
CARE FOR ENVIRONMENT!

will result in poverty free INDIA!

[piu.pisces15]

education is the need want and demand of the moment

[duggalankit2002]

reduce corruption at all levels...
all government employees shud be shown the movie Nayak starring anil kapoor.... so that they can learn something from it...

[srikanth216]

first we need to select the proper leader who spends on welfare rather than banking money in world bank..

[Kalpana Heliya]

first we need to select the proper leader who spends on welfare rather than banking money in world bank..

Thats one approach, to evade poverty in India we have to focus on the Agricultural yield and increase the real wage of the farmers, Inflation adversely affected the rural poor by eroding their real wages in the short run.

boast productivity in the small scale sectors

Control distortions in the money market

More relief policies/ reforms in the backward areas

A good blend of democratic and capitalism policy to boast the economic growth and add to the real gdp of the country

Generate emplyment opportunities by helping the Corporate sector to enter the rare areas.

this are just few approaches wic if work upon religiously by the govt of India and make sme drastic change
