INDIA: PROBLEM OF POVERTY AND REMEDIES
Keywords:
Over population, Exploitation in un-organized sectorAbstract
India was called a ‘Sparrow of Gold’ in the past. Indians were prosperous. Many outsiders attacked and looted it. Some of them went back while the remaining settled here. Britishers came here and looted it. They spread their colonies all over India. They ruled over India. At that time the condition of Indian economy and society was very worse. When India got freedom from Britishers in 1947 it tried to develop. The main focus of Indian policies makers was on the eradication of poverty. Five years plan was made for the purpose of eradication of poverty. But still there are so many problems in the elimination of poverty.
