No, I do not agree with the statement. Policy measures undertaken for the eradication of poverty are as follows:
- Agriculture: Providing minimum support prices for selected crops and providing cheaper credit facilities to farmers are the measures taken to ensure stable agricultural income to farmers.
- Rural works: New employment is created for labours of rural areas by way of construction of roads, irrigation projects, etc.
- Rural industrialization: To increase the income of people living in rural areas, employment is created by promoting small-scale and cottage industries.
- Minimum wages: In 1948, the Minimum Wages Act was passed to provide fair wages to laborers and workers of industrial and agricultural areas.
Besides these, there are many other causes like:
- Public distribution system
- Nationalization of banks
- Progressive tax measures
- Free Education
- Affordable housing
- Health Facilities
- Skill development and self-employment.
