Question 30.
Describe anti-poverty measures taken by the government. In your opinion, have these
measures reduced poverty in India? Explain with examples. [5]
OR
Explain any five anti-poverty measures taken by the government of India.
Answer:
Anti-poverty measures taken by the Indian Government are based on two main objectives:
Increasing economic growth in the country and launching anti-poverty programmes for
specific groups of people. The Government of India has launched several anti-poverty
programmes like the Prime Minister Rozgar Yojna, Rural Employment Guarantee
Programme, and Swarnajayanti Gram Swarozgar Yojna which are aimed at generating self-
employment opportunities in rural areas.

Human poverty extends beyond the traditional definition of poverty to include lack of
housings education, healthcare, job security, and lack of equal opportunities or dignity due to
discrimination based on caste, colour, or gender.

India’s future in combating poverty appears bright. Rising economic growth, falling
population growth rate, radical schemes for free elementary education for all, and
empowerment of women and the weaker sections of society should result in an appreciable
reduction of poverty in the years to come.
OR
The current anti-poverty strategy of the government is based broadly on two planks:

 Promotion of economic growth.

are in operation in rural and urban areas are:

the scheme will be extended to 600 districts.

(b) National Food for Work Programme (NFWP): This was launched in 2004 in 150 most
backward districts of the country. The programme is open to all rural poor who are in need of
wage employment and desire to do manual unskilled work. Once the NREGA is in forces the
NWFP will be subsumed within this programme.

(c) Swarnajayanti Gram Swarojgar Yojana (SGSY): SGSY was launched on 1st April 1999.
It aims at promoting enterprises at the village level. it helps the rural people to organise
themselves into self-help groups. The objective of SGSY is to bring the existing poor families
above the poverty line by providing them income-generating assets through bank credit and
government subsidy.

(d) Pradhan Mantri Gramodaya Yojana (PMGY)

 PMGY was introduced in 2000.

 Its objective is to focus on village-level development in five critical areas, that
is, primary health, primary education, rural shelter, drinking water, and roads.
As a result of this, the quality of life of rural people will improve.
(e) National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA): NREGA was passed in September
2005. The Act provides for 100 days assured employment to every rural household in 200
districts. Later, the scheme will be extended to 600 districts.

(f) National Food for Work Programme (NFWP): This was launched in 2004 in 150 most
backward districts of the country. The programme is open to all rural poor who are in need of
wage employment and desire to do manual unskilled
work. Once the NREGA is in force, the NWFP will be subsumed within this programme.

Question 35.
Read the source given below and answer the questions that follow: (1+1+1+2=4)
One of the groups which looked to change society was the liberals, liberals wanted a nation
that tolerated all religions. We should remember that at this time European states usually
discriminated in favour of one religion or another (Britain favoured the Church of England,
Austria and Spain favoured the Catholic Church). Liberals also opposed the uncontrolled
power of dynas6c rulers.

They wanted to safeguard the rights of individuals against governments. They argued for a
representative elected parliamentary government, subject to laws interpreted by a well-trained
judiciary that was independent of rulers and officials. However, they were not democrats’.
They did not believe in the universal adult franchise, that is, the right of every citizen to vote.
They felt men of the property mainly should have the vote. They also did not want the vote
for women.
I. What type of nation did liberals want?

Question 36.
Read the source given below and answer the questions that follow: (1+1+2=4)
China’s lamine of 1958-1961 was the worst recorded famine in world history. Nearly, three
crore people died in this famine. During those days, India’s economic condition was not
much better than China. Yet, India did not have a famine of the kind China had. Economists
think that this was a result of different government policies in the two countries. The
existence of democracy in India made the Indian Government respond to food scarcity in a
way that the Chinese government did not. They point out that no large-scale famine has ever
taken place in an independent and democratic country. If China too had multiparty elections,
an opposition party, and a press free to criticise the government, then so many people may
not have died in the famine.
This example brings out one of the reasons why democracy is considered the best form of
government. Democracy is better than any other form of government in responding to the
needs of the people. A non-democratic government may and can respond to the people’s
needs, but it all depends on the wishes of the people who rule. If the rulers don’t want to, they
don’t have to act according to the wishes of the people. A democracy requires that the rulers
have to attend to the
needs of the people. A democratic government is a better government because it is a more
accountable form of government.
