Poverty in India is multidimensional, influenced by low incomes, poor health, and limited education. Government initiatives include subsidized food via PDS, direct benefit transfers, and livelihood programs like MGNREGA. Over time, definitions and estimations have evolved, reflecting committees like the Tendulkar and Rangarajan panels. In exam contexts, clarity on rural vs. urban poverty lines, the effectiveness of social safety nets, and microfinance’s role in empowerment is key. Also examine how skill development, inclusive growth, and financial inclusion policies complement these measures to break the cycle of intergenerational poverty.
