This document provides an overview of poverty in India. It defines poverty as a lack of resources to meet basic needs. Approximately 21.9% of India's population lives below the national poverty line. While poverty has decreased in recent decades, inequality remains high as the top 1% hold 73% of the country's wealth. Poverty is caused by factors like population growth, low agricultural productivity, unemployment, and lack of capital and entrepreneurship. The government runs various programs to alleviate poverty such as employment guarantee schemes, housing programs, pension schemes, and food security programs.
