Poverty refers to lack of basic necessities that encompasses the need for one to thrive in all areas of life. When one lacks necessities like clothing, shelter, and food, it diminishes the quality or lack thereof to succeed and flourish in the society.
Poverty can broadly be divided into two categories of ‘transitory’ and ‘chronic’, wherein the former refers to when the period of poverty is not long-lasting, because there comes a time when people eventually move out of that state of being in poverty. On the other hand, the latter refers to when people suffer for a significant amount of time, sometimes their entire lifetime in a state of poverty; eventually passing it on to their children.

India is the world’s second most populated country and in a place where jobs are less but workers are more one can understand very well why is their poverty.
Government has taken several steps to reduce poverty. Some of the steps are
Ration shops are opened for Below poverty line [BPL] people where they get necessities like wheat,rice,atta and sugar at very low prices.
Another reason is lack of education and knowledge among people. In simple words one can say that people dont have knowledge about family planning. Like in India there is a common concept that every couple will have two kids irrespective of their income and also some people tend to have more and more kids as they think more people means more earners but they forget it also means more bellies to be filled.
Some key steps taken by the Indian government to resolve the dynamic nature of poverty are:
According to the reports, government alone cant do anything to reduce poverty. It also needs people support and contribution for the same.
