Abstract:
Poverty in India is not just a statistic—it is a lived experience etched into the everyday struggles of millions. This study is a sincere attempt to understand how the Government of India addresses this deep-rooted issue, particularly in the years following economic liberalisation. Drawing on secondary data from 2011-12 to 2022, the research explores the long-term trends in poverty reduction, with a special focus on the rural population and the marginalised.
