Poverty — Economics STD 12 Humanities & Commerce — Question

It is correctly stated that high growth alone is not sufficient to reduce poverty. What is urgently required along with the high growth rate is the active and keen participation of the poor. Until and unless the poor anxiously participate they can not be empowered and heard. So, the poor have to awake and arise to enjoy the benefits of high growth. A process of social mobilisation is called for. Not only the government agencies but various NGOs will also have to play an active role to promote the participation and empowerment of the poor.
