Answer:
The
current anti-poverty strategy of the government has a two-pronged approach
i.e., promotion of economic growth and targeted anti-poverty programmes.
Economic growth widens opportunities and provides resources needed to
invest in human development.
To enable the poor to take advantage of this economic
growth, the government has formulated several anti-poverty schemes to affect
poverty directly or indirectly.
Prime Minister Rozgar Yojana (PMRY), Rural Employment
Generation Programme (REGP), Swarnajayanti Gram Swarozgar Yojana (SGSY), Pradhan
Mantri Gramodaya Yojana (PMGY), Antyodaya Anna Yojana (AAY), National Food for Work
Programme (NFWP) and National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA) are some
of the Anti-Poverty Schemes of the government.
There is also a proposal for establishing National and State
Employment Guarantee Funds. However, despite the good intentions of these
schemes, the benefits have not fully reached the deserving poor.
Hence, the major emphasis in recent years has been on
proper implementation and monitoring of all the poverty alleviation programmes.
