Approach to Poverty Eradication With Environment Regeneration and Sustainability India

Abstract

India’s report on Poverty Eradication with Environmental Regeneration and Sustainability highlights the need for a synergistic approach that addresses poverty while promoting ecological balance. Despite reductions in poverty ratios from 1973 to 1994, absolute poverty remains a challenge, particularly in rural and rainfed regions with limited agricultural technology adoption. The report emphasizes sustainable agriculture, watershed development programs, and community participation as critical mechanisms for improving livelihoods, food security, and resource management. Initiatives like the National Watershed Development Project for Rainfed Areas (NWDPRA) demonstrate the value of integrating local communities in planning and implementation to enhance both socio-economic outcomes and environmental sustainability. The document concludes that effective poverty alleviation in India requires policies that simultaneously foster economic growth, equitable resource distribution, and sustainable environmental practices.
