This book discusses critical policy issues that need to be
addressed if India wishes to achieve the SDG 1 based elusive goal
of ending poverty in the country. In its nine chapters, it takes
the readers through trends and estimates of poverty in India,
explains changes in the way it has been measured over time and the
factors that lead to persistence of poverty, draws attention to the
fact that hunger is both a cause and an effect of poverty and has
gender and age dimensions too. The book revisits strategies that
were successful in addressing poverty emanating from situations of
conflict, presents a discussion on migration as a critical coping
mechanism among poor, analyses the links between ill health and
poverty as well as education and poverty to draw attention to the
policy imperatives that need attention. India's report card on
poverty remains dismal even though there is recognition of the
importance of reducing or eliminating or ending it at both national
and global levels. Despite rapid economic growth and improvement on
a range of development indicators, an unacceptably high proportion
of India's population continues to suffer poverty in multiple
dimensions. SDG 1 or "ending poverty in all its forms everywhere"
cannot be achieved unless policies and poverty alleviation
programmes understand and address chronic poverty and its dynamics.
This requires that we estimate and understand the extent of
poverty, the factors that lead to people getting stuck in it and
the ways this can be addressed. It also requires understanding the
dynamic nature of poverty or the fact that many of those who are
poor are able to move out of poverty as well as the fact that many
others who are not poor become impoverished. These are the issues
that are comprehensively examined and addressed in this book. In
addition to students, teachers and researchers in the areas of
development, economic growth, equity and welfare, the book is also
of great interest to policy makers, planners and non-government
agencies who are concerned with understanding and addressing
poverty-related issues in the developing countries.
