Poverty alleviation programmes have completed almost six decades. But these programmes have failed to address the problem of poverty. It is mainly because of the careless and insensitive attitude of the government officials. These officials have no regard for the needs of the poor people. They are corrupt and use the power in their hand to benefit the undeserving. Effective implementation of these programmes can only be achieved if the government officials are sympathetic to the poor people.
So, it is necessary to sensitise the government officials to be specially sympathetic to the poor people.
