Analyzing the poverty Alleviation strategies of India and Pakistan

Abstract

This research explores the various methods employed by India and Pakistan to combat poverty. Through an examination of policy frameworks, economic initiatives, and social interventions, the study highlights both commonalities and differences in the strategies adopted by these nations. By assessing the impact of governmental policies, grassroots efforts, and international collaborations, the research aims to provide insights into effective approaches for reducing poverty. The Current work is basically qualitative in nature and conducted through a comparative analysis between India and Pakistan. Launched in March 2019, the Ehsaas Poverty Alleviation Program is a broad initiative. Current initiatives to directly relieve the suffering of Pakistan's extremely poor include the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP), Bait ul Maal, and many others of a similar nature. Proposals such as the Housing for All by 2022 and Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana aim to house the impoverished in both rural and urban areas of India. Recently launched government initiatives such as Stand Up India and Start-Up India are aimed at enabling people to make a living. . The findings of this comparative analysis add to a more complex understanding of the challenges and successes encountered in combating poverty in the distinct socio-economic landscapes of India and Pakistan.
