Many attempts have been made to reduce poverty but no satisfactory result till today. As land reform & external aid remained the two substantial principal means through which the government sought to reduce poverty for the first two decades after independence. However, poverty did not show any substantial decline. But the poverty did start diminishing due to heavy public investment in the agriculture sector in the wake of Green Revolution. High rate of growth in agriculture did trickle-down to the poor, at least to a certain extent. In the early 1980s, a shift in government's approach to poverty reduction showed a radical departure from past. This new strategy towards poverty reduction was marked by three important features. Firstly, the transformation of the poverty line from a statistical benchmark into a real life societal division. Secondly, Anti-poverty programmes were conceived as instruments for challenging public resources downward to the local level. Thirdly, Anti-poverty schemes were enacted not only because they allowed the construction of patronage chain in absence of well organized parties. But also because they made the poor feel that the government was doing something to fulfill its promises to abolish poverty. This paper will highlight process of eradicating poverty through Anti-poverty programmes. | | Keywords : | | - Household
