Whatever definition or figure, one finally settles with, the fact that India has a huge burden of global poor population today, is undeniable .A lot of time and resources are spent to address this concern. But some inherent challenges are always there viz:
a) identification of poor
b) targeting of the real beneficiary of State welfare schemes
c) capacity building at lowest levels.
There are some States in India today where the government programmes have performed rally well. And this is shown in the various developmental indices. But there are certain areas where corruption and leakages have marred the State‘s effort to bring more and more people out of BPL

The schemes like MGNREGA, SSA, Mid Day Meal etc have played crucial role, especially in rural India. The Food Security Act, 2013 too promises to address the concern of millions of people sleeping hungry while food grains were rotting in our granaries.

But in recent decade lot has been changed When Institution Body like WHO,UNICEF and UN,have come up with the idea like MDG etc poor people still being expolited in some way.

Empowerment is directly linked with poverty. Amartya Sen in this Povety and Famine, argues that famine may occur even when there are ample food grain reserves. It is the poverty and the inability to by that leads to starvation, malnutrition and even death. Panchayats may empower people. It was Gandhi ji’s vision to strengthen the village panchayats. Again, he knew that people need to be empowered then only poverty can be addressed.

Hence,Mahatma Gandhi saw poverty as worst form of violence. And those who experience it do not even know why they are poor. Nelson Mandela believed that poverty is man-made. Certainly, there is a historic reason behind some being chronically poor. There were untouchables in India, and even today some tribes are denotified. It is worst form of violence, as if does not only hurts physically but also spiritually.

Gandhiji was aware of such pain and he insisted the general public to live a frugal life in which a person acquires only that much wealth that he needs. He believed that there is enough for everyone‘s need but not for everyone‘s greed.
