The Challenges to Poverty Reduction

The Challenges to Poverty Reduction: Poverty reduction is still a major challenge in India, due to the wide differences between regions as well as rural and urban areas. Further, poverty should include not only the matter of adequate amount of food, but other factors like education, healthcare, shelter, job security, gender, equality, dignity and so on. These give us the concept of human poverty. Poverty reduction is expected to be lower in next 10-15 years.
