Question
Discuss low level of education as a social pause for poverty.
✓
Answer
Low level of education:
One of the major reasons of poverty in India is lack of education, training and skills.
Low level of education, especially in rural areas prevent the villagers from taking advantage of the use of new technologies in agriculture, new agriculture system, research and benefit of market to sell their products.
As a result both, per hectare productivity and per labour productivity in agriculture remain low. This is the chief reason for low income of farmers.
Since the rural youths remain uneducated they cannot get good job opportunities in other fields except agriculture. This also contributes to their poverty.
