Dear Editor

Yes, Poverty (DTE, 16-31st May 2011)is going to create social conflicts. In spite of several welfare measures being implemented by the government, non-governmental agencies, funding agencies both national and international, the poverty could not be eradicated or minimized to the extent what our planners say. Instead, poor is becoming poorer and rich becoming richer.

Development is taking place in our country and thanks for the technology. Then where is the problem? Policies and plans are very sound on the paper but fails in implementation. As reported recently, when the cost of implementation is more than 300%, then who s getting benefit out of these novel schemes?. Most of the time, these were not on need based and never allows the beneficiary to participate in the process of schemes. They will be made as just receivers with out any voice. See the quality of consumables and grains supplied through PWD? Some times, when it is rotten and lying in the godowns,authorities are not willing to distribute among the vulnerable group.

In spite of all the challenges, still ways are there to minimize or eradicate the poverty. It only needs concern and commitment among the people's representatives, authorities and business people. Once these people were oriented for the cause and consequences of poverty(poverty is the cause and consequence of development and barrier for the development), then the process of poverty alleviation moves in positive direction.

Hope with the best efforts from all the stakeholders may lead for the eradication of poverty and thus to move toward holistic development of the people with better sustainability and quality of life (QOL).
