Poverty in India

Poverty in India refers to the condition where individuals lack sufficient resources to meet basic needs like food, shelter, education, and healthcare. Despite economic growth, many people live below the poverty line, often facing limited access to essential services and opportunities. Factors contributing include income inequality, unemployment, insufficient social safety nets, and disparities between urban and rural areas. Addressing poverty requires policies that promote inclusive development, improve education, create jobs, and ensure social protections, helping those in need to improve their quality of life and escape cycles of poverty.
