Lost People: Analysis of Indian Poverrty

Conceptually, the notion of poverty is a complex phenomenon in its content and scope. The conceptualization of poverty depends on the approach adopted by the researchers to the phenomenon of the poverty. Poverty deprives the individual not only of material comforts but of human dignity. It rarely builds his character. The voluminous literature on poverty in India conveys the presence of controversies and the debate on poverty in India often generated more heat than light. This book overviews the different concepts of poverty, the debate on measurement of poverty the role of agriculture and rural development in poverty alleviation, gender aspects of poverty and also tries to analyse the correlation between happiness and poverty. The book also analyses that Indian poverty is man made phenomenon and social system is responsible for it.
