Default The Poverty

SALAM

WELL THE POVERTY ALLEVIATION HAS TO BE DEALT WITH TECHNICALLY
IN FACT, TO ME THE TOPIC INVOLVES THREE MAJOR CONSIDRATIONS.
1 THE CAUSES OF POVERTY
2 REMEDIES ALREADY TAKEN
3 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FUTURE
FOR THE FIRST PART WE NEED TO DISCUSS

THE POVERTY WE INHERETED
a reference to initial problems
THE POVERTY WE PRODUCEDfudal system, anti-poor policies, vested interests, foreign pressures, technological problems(no one gives us the heavy machinery....they only give us the machines capable of producing goods, rather than those capable of producing machines themselves)
REMEDIAL MEASURES OF GOVT.
AGRICULTURE SECTOR
micro finance facility, free education, tax reduction for calamity hit areas, facilities for exporters, mega projects, contracts with malaysia etc for foreign employment, scholorships allowed abroad, telecommunication sector(MOBILE COs), Small and Medium enterprises.
MEASURES TO BE RECOMMENDED
structural changes- shifting burdon from poor to rich
agricultural reforms-owership rights
industrial reforms-more facilities at industrial zones, more zones
more mega projects
kalabag dam/bhasha dam-electricity needs of growing economy cannot be fullfilled without it


take care
