Answer:
Causes
of poverty in India are
(i) Low Level of Economic Development under the British Colonial
Administration The policies of the colonial government ruined traditional
handicrafts and discouraged development of industries like textiles.
(ii) Low Rate of India's Economic Growth after Independence
This resulted in less job opportunities and low growth rates of incomes,
accompanied by a high growth rate of population, increasing poverty.
(iii) Lack of Land Resources Land reforms aimed at redistribution
of assets in rural areas have not been implemented effectively.
(iv) Backwardness in Agriculture People mostly use
old and traditional methods of farming. This requires much labour and time.
Effects of irrigation and the Green Revolution were limited to only some parts
of India.
