Time to annihilate poverty

UN defines poverty as"a denial of choices and opportunities, a violation of human dignity. 

It means lack of basic capacity to participate effectively in society ". 

The main cause of poverty is deprivation. Deprivation in health aspects, education and living standard. There are thousands of poor suffering from diseases due to lack of awareness, education and health consciousness. Deprivation of opportunities leads to unemployment which ultimately leads to poverty hence it is like the unending chain of recurrence.

This results into lack of participation and hence they can't play a well defined role in society which is the violation of their dignity.

 All these issues needs to be addressed.

1)Government has undertaken various schemes such as PMJDY, MGNREGA, DAY, MKSP, DDUGKY, PMKVY, etc. 

2)UN-Sustainable Development Goals :Goal1-no poverty

3)Quality education 

4)proper implementation of schemes. 

5)Equal opportunity and participation 

6)encourage women empowerment

7)awareness of social right 

8)ethical approach and empathy of "high class" people towards the lower ones. 

9)Global citizen festival - encouraged awareness amongst the youth with respect to poverty     
           
             Hence the ignorance, lack of education , opportunities and information needs to be addressed in order to eradicate poverty and this will help to liberate poor from the process of deprivation.
