Some schemes such as National Rural
Livelihood Mission, Swabhiman, Sampoorna
Grameen Rozgar Yojana have been passed
lately in order to deal with poverty… Future
schemes can’t be forecasted but in the
elections of 2014 poverty has been put up as a
major issue…
So we can hope for a better tomorrow of India.
