In today's time, poverty is considered one of the biggest problems in the world. Poverty is such a human condition, which gives rise to various problems in our life such as sorrow and pain and despair. People living in poverty neither get good education nor they get good health.

Poverty a tragedy

Poverty is a human condition that brings despair, sorrow and pain in our lives. Poverty is the lack of money and shows the lack of everything to live life properly. Poverty makes a child incapable of enrolling in school in childhood and is forced to spend his or her childhood in an unhappy family. Due to poverty and lack of money, people suffer from problems like not getting two days' bread, books for children and not being able to raise children properly.

We can define poverty in many ways. Poverty has become very common in India because most people cannot even meet the basic needs of their lives. Here a large section of the population is illiterate, hungry and forced to live without clothes and home. This is the main reason for the weak Indian economy. Almost half of the population in India is living a painful life due to poverty.

Poverty creates a situation in which people fail to get sufficient income, so they are unable to buy the necessary things. A poor person lives in his life without possession of basic things like food for two times, clean water, house, clothes, proper education etc. These people fail to maintain even the minimum standard of living such as consumption and nutrition necessary for survival.

There are many reasons for poverty in India although mis-distribution of national income is also a reason. People from low income group group are much poorer than people belonging to high income group group. Children of poor families never get proper education, nutrition and a happy childhood environment. The main cause of poverty is illiteracy, corruption, increasing population, weak agriculture, growing gap between rich and poverty etc.
Poverty has become a challenge in our lives, in today's time many countries around the world are in the grip of it. Looking at the data released in this subject, it shows that in spite of so many measures being taken for the eradication of poverty at the global level, this problem remains a symbol of light.

Measures to control poverty

Poverty shows poor quality of life, illiteracy, malnutrition, lack of basic requirements, low human resource development etc. Poverty is a major problem in developing countries like India. This is a fact in which a section of people in society cannot even fulfill the basic needs of their lives.

Poverty levels have shown some decrease in the last five years (from 35.97% in 1993–94 to 26.1% in 1999–2000). It has also come down at the state level like 47.15% to 48.56% in Orissa, 37.43% to 43.52% in Madhya Pradesh, 31.15% to 40.85% in Uttar Pradesh and 27.02% to 35.66% in West Bengal. However, in spite of this no special happiness or pride can be felt because still 26 million people in India are forced to live below the poverty line.

Poverty in India can be eradicated through the use of some effective programs, although the coordinated efforts of everyone are needed not only by the government but also for achieving this objective. The Government of India will have to devise some effective strategies for developing poor social areas, especially in rural areas through primary components like primary education, population control, family welfare, employment generation etc.

What is the effect of poverty?

These are some of the following effects of poverty such as:

Illiteracy: Poverty makes people incompetent to get proper education due to lack of money.
Nutrition and balanced diet: Due to poverty, inadequate availability of balanced diet and adequate nutrition brings a lot of catastrophic and infectious diseases.
Child labor: This gives rise to illiteracy on a large scale as the future of the country becomes involved in child labor at a very low cost at a very young age.
Unemployment: Unemployment also arises due to poverty, which acts to affect the normal life of people. It forces people to live life against their will.
Social Anxiety: This creates social anxiety due to the acute income gap between rich and poor.
Housing problem: Pavement, roadside, other open spaces, living together of many people in one room, etc. It creates bad conditions for living.
Diseases: It increases various infectious diseases because people without money cannot maintain proper hygiene and cleanliness. For the proper treatment of any disease, one cannot bear the expenses of the doctor.
Poverty in female prosperity: Due to gender inequality affects the lives of women on a large scale and they are deprived of proper diet, nutrition and medicine and treatment facilities.Poverty affects people in many ways. Poverty has many effects such as illiteracy, unsafe diet and nutrition, child labor, poor household, qualityless lifestyle, unemployment, poor sanitation, higher poverty among women than men, etc. Due to lack of money, the gap between rich and poor is increasing. This difference leads a country to the category of underdeveloped. Due to poverty, a small child is forced to work at a low wage instead of going to school to help his family financially.
