آج ہم اُردو میں غربت پر مضمون فراہم کرنے جا رہے ہیں۔ یہ مضمون یاد رکھنے میں بھی آسان ہے۔ اس مضمون کو آسان اور سادہ الفاظ میں لکھا گیا ہے لہذا کوئی بھی طالب علم اس موضوع پر لکھ سکتا ہے۔

غربت پر مضمون

ہم غربت (Poverty) کو ایک ایسی حالت کہتے ہیں جہاں ایک خاندان کی بنیادی ضروریات جیسے خوراک، رہائش، لباس اور تعلیم پوری نہ ہوں۔ ایک غریب شخص پیسے کی کمی کی وجہ سے تعلیم حاصل نہیں کر پاتا اور اس وجہ سے وہ بے روزگار رہتا ہے۔ ایک بے روزگار شخص اپنے خاندان کے لیےغذائیت سے بھرپور خوراک خریدنے کے قابل نہیں ہوپاتا اور یوں ان کی صحت کا معیار بھی گر جاتا ہے۔ ایک کمزور شخص کے پاس کام کرنے کے لیے درکار توانائی کی کمی ہوتی ہے اور اس طرح بے روزگار شخص غریب ہی رہتا ہے۔ اس لئے ہم کہہ سکتے ہیں کہ غربت دیگر مسائل کی بھی جڑ ہے۔

غربت کی وجوہات

پاکستان میں غربت کی بڑی وجہ بڑھتی ہوئی آبادی، کمزور زراعت، بدعنوانی، امیر اور غریب کے درمیان بڑا فرق، بے روزگاری، ناخواندگی، متعدی بیماریاں وغیرہ ہیں۔ عام طور پر خراب زراعت اور بے روزگاری کی وجہ سے لوگوں کو خوراک کی قلت کا سامنا کرنا پڑتا ہے۔ پاکستان میں بڑھتی ہوئی آبادی بھی غربت کی بڑی وجہ ہے۔ زیادہ آبادی کی ضروریات کو پورا کرنے کے لئے خوراک، پیسہ اور گھر کی ضرورت ہوتی ہے اور جب یہ بنیادی ضروریات پوری نہیں ہوتیں تو غربت جنم لیتی ہے۔ اس کے علاوہ، امیر اور غریب کے درمیان کا فرق بھی غربت کی بہت بڑی وجہ ہے۔

غربت کے اثرات

غربت غریب خاندان کی زندگی کو متاثر کرتی ہے۔ ایک غریب آدمی مناسب خوراک اور غذائیت نہیں لے پاتا اور اس کی کام کرنے کی صلاحیت کم ہو جاتی ہے۔ کام کرنے کی صلاحیت میں کمی اس کی آمدنی کو مزید کم کر دیتی ہے جس سے وہ غریب تر ہو جاتا ہے۔ غریب خاندان کے بچوں کو کبھی بھی مناسب تعلیم اور مناسب غذائیت نہیں ملتی۔ انہیں اپنے خاندان کی کفالت کے لیے کام کرنا پڑتا ہے اور اس سے ان کا بچپن تباہ ہو جاتا ہے۔ ان میں سے کچھ چوری، قتل، ڈکیتی وغیرہ جیسے جرائم میں بھی ملوث ہو جاتے ہیں۔ ایک غریب شخص ان پڑھ رہتا ہے اور کچی آبادیوں میں غیر محفوظ حالات میں زندگی گزارنے پر مجبور ہوتا ہے۔ کچی آبادیوں میں صفائی اور پینے کے پانی کی کوئی مناسب سہولت نہیں ہوتی جس کی وجہ سے غریب انسان اکثر بیمار رہتا ہے اور اس کی صحت بگڑ جاتی ہے۔ چنانچہ تمام سماجی برائیوں کا تعلق غربت سے ہے۔

غربت کو جڑ سے ختم کرنے کا حل

اس زمین پر انسانیت کی بھلائی کے لیے غربت کے مسئلے کو فوری طور پر حل کرنا بہت ضروری ہے۔ کچھ چیزیں جو غربت کے مسئلے کو حل کرنے میں بڑا کردار ادا کر سکتی ہیں درج ذیل ہیں:

• کسانوں کو منافع بخش بنانے کے ساتھ ساتھ اچھی کاشت کاری کے لیے مناسب اور ضروری سہولتیں ملنی چاہئیں۔
• ناخواندہ افراد کو زندگی کی بہتری کے لیے ضروری تربیت دی جانی چاہیے۔
• غربت کے خاتمے کے لیے بڑھتی ہوئی آبادی کو روکنا ہو گا۔
• غربت کے خاتمے کے لیے بدعنوانی (Corruption) کا خاتمہ بھی بہت ضروری ہے۔
• ہر بچہ سکول جائے اور مکمل تعلیم حاصل کرے۔
• روزگار کے ایسے راستے ہونے چاہئیں جہاں ہر طبقے کے لوگ مل کر کام کر سکیں۔

نتیجہ (Conclusion)

غربت صرف کچھ لوگوں کا مسئلہ نہیں ہے بلکہ یہ ایک قومی مسئلہ ہے۔ اسے فوری طور پر کچھ موثر طریقوں کے ذریعے حل کیا جانا چاہئے۔ حکومت کی جانب سے غربت کے خاتمے کے لیے مختلف اقدامات کیے گئے ہیں لیکن اب تک کوئی واضح نتائج سامنے نہیں آئے۔ غربت کا خاتمہ عوام، معیشت، معاشرے اور ملک کی مسلسل بڑھتی ہوئی اور جامع ترقی کے لیے بہت ضروری ہے۔ غربت کو جڑ سے اکھاڑ پھینکنے کے لیے ہر فرد کا متحد ہونا بہت ضروری ہے۔

غربت پر دس جملے

1) غربت دنیا کا ایک اہم مسئلہ ہے۔

2) غربت خوراک اور رہائش کی کمی کا نام ہے۔

3) غریب لوگوں کے لیے اپنے روزکے کھانے کا بندوبست کرنا بہت مشکل ہوتا ہے۔

4) غربت لوگوں کی زندگی کو غیر محفوظ بناتی ہے۔

5) غریب لوگ اپنے بچوں کو سکول نہیں بھیج سکتے۔

6) بیمار پڑنے پر لوگ دوا اور ہسپتال کے اخراجات برداشت نہیں کر سکتے۔

7) لوگ ناکافی غذائیت اور علاج کی وجہ سے موت کا شکار بھی ہو جاتے ہیں۔

8) غربت طلباء کو تعلیم حاصل کرنے سے محروم کر دیتی ہے۔

9) جرائم کی بڑھتی ہوئی شرح غربت کا ہی نتیجہ ہے۔

10) غربت میں اضافے کی ایک بڑی وجہ آبادی میں اضافہ ہے۔

Introduction The word poverty derived from Latin word “pauper” means “poor”. Poverty refers to the condition of not having the means to afford basic human needs such as clean water, nutrition, health care, clothing and shelter. Poverty is the condition of having fewer resources or less income than others within a society or country, or compared to worldwide averages. Poverty is one of the major social problems which Pakistan is facing. It is one of the most important and sensitive issue not only for Pakistan but for the whole world. Poverty can cause other social problems like theft, bribe, corruption, adultery, lawlessness, injustice etc. It is the fundamental duty and responsibility of the country to fulfill the basic needs of its people. Basic needs of man comprises of shelter, food and clothing. When these needs are not fulfilled they bring about problems termed as socio-economic problems. Pakistan has also been suffering from these problems. The real issue is not the presence of these problems in the society. But the extent to which they are being paid attention and solved. When these problems are not met timely the results in the form of deviant behavior, drug abuse, smuggling, corruption, poverty, illiteracy and many other social evils. Poverty Condition in Pakistan Poverty has been one of the biggest problems that Pakistan faces today. It is rightly said that poverty anywhere is a threat to prosperity everywhere. Nearly 60 per cent of the population of Pakistan lives in villages. According to an analysis, poverty has increased roughly from 30% to 40% during the past decade. It means that 40 per cent of the country’s population is earning their livelihood below the poverty line. In such condition people are depressed of their basic necessities of life. Proper education and medicine are becoming distant from them. They are forced to think of their survival only of due to poverty and unemployment, parents instead of sending their children to schools, prefer child labor for them. They make them do so to support their family and use them as earning hands from the early age. Definition A situation in which a person or household lacks the resources necessary to be able to consume a certain minimum basket of goods. The basket consists either of food, clothing, housing and other essentials (moderate poverty) or of food alone (extreme poverty).The most common method used to define poverty is income-based. According to Homer “This is misery! The last, the worst that man can feel”. According Jean Guenon “He is poor who doesn't have enough; he is poorer who cannot get enough". “A person is considered poor if his or her income level falls below some minimum level necessary to meet basic needs. This minimum level is usually called the poverty line”. International Organizations Reports about poverty in Pakistan • UNDP (United Nations Development Program) Report According to a UNDP report, 65.5 percent population of Pakistan earns less than 2$ per day. • SPDC (Social Policy Development Centre) Report According to the SPDC, 88 percent of Baluchistan’s population, 51 percent of NWFP, 21 percent of Sindh and 25 percent of Punjab’s population is prey to poverty and deprivation. • World Bank Report According to the 2011 statistics of the World Bank, due to the global financial recession poverty ratio is increased especially of USA and the EU countries have pushed millions of people around the world into deeper poverty. Almost 40% of 107 developing countries are highly exposed to the poverty. Pakistan is ranked among the 43 countries who are most exposed to poverty. • Asian Development Bank Report According to the ADB report, poverty is spreading in Pakistan due to the rising population, Pakistan’s internal situation, agriculture backwardness, unequal income distribution, defiance expenditure, and increase in utility charges and rise in unproductive activities. • Pakistan’s Planning Commission Report Pakistan’s Planning Commission (2011), poverty rate has jumped from 23.9 to 37.5 percent in the last three years. The commission has estimated that in 2007 there were 35.5 million people living below the poverty line but in 2010 their number increased to over 64 million. Causes/Reasons of poverty in Pakistan It is difficult to point out all causes of poverty in Pakistan but the major causes of are given below: 1. Government Policies Government is not well aware of present conditions of country. The policies of government are based on the suggestions of officials which do not have awareness about the problems of a common man. After implementation of the policies do not get effective result. After the failure of one policy, government does not consider its failure and announces another policy without studying the aftermaths of last one. Heavy taxes and unemployment crushes the people and they are forced to live below poverty line. The suitable medical facilities are not provided to people and they are forced to get treatment for private clinics which are too costly. 2. Education Education sector plays a very vital role in the progress of any country. Unfortunately, the condition of education sector in Pakistan is very miserable. The lack of quality education our country is unable of dealing with the challenges of the 21st century. Due to poverty people are unable to afford quality education for their children. In addition, government’s negligence is frustrating the situation further. Even though various steps taken by different governments for the promotion of education, literacy rate lingers at 56% over the decade. Owing to low investment, government run schools are poor of basic facilities like proper classrooms, water and sanitation facilities, electricity. Private sector is doing an admirable job in this regard. But the money making objective of this sector, education has been beyond poor’s reach. The primary completion rate in Pakistan given by UNESCO is 33.8 % in females and 47% in males, which shows that people in the 6th largest country of the world are unable to get the basic education. 3. Overpopulation Pakistan is facing the dragon of overpopulation. The growth rate of Pakistan is very high and is among the highest in the world. Since 1947, the population has become more than triple. Pakistan is almost touching 180 million marks. Population expansion has been a real issue of concern for all governments. With limited resources it is very difficult to control the growing population. There is a great economic disparity among the people. Poor are committing suicides out of hunger while rich are busy in buildup more and more wealth. These social problems directly affect the masses. The massively increasing population has almost outstripped the resources in production, facilities and in job opportunities. 4. Unemployment Pakistan is poorly faced with the problem of unemployment. The existing unemployment rate is 15%. Thousands of young doctors, engineers and other educated people are out of job. There are no opportunities for youth to utilize their capabilities or abilities in right direction. Pakistan is facing the problem of brain drain due to unemployment because we are unable to utilize their precious hands in the progress of the country. The most horrible part is that it is rising every year it will show to be risky for the economy of Pakistan. It has negative impact on society. It creates frustration and revengeful attitude. It leads to an increase in the incidences of crimes. 5. Judiciary System Justice delayed is justice denied. Timely justice is the core value of a welfare society. It is the duty of the state to promote justice. But in the case of Pakistan it has always been a day dream for the poor masses. Since the independence judiciary has been in prison at the hands of establishment. Weak judiciary has been unable to redress the grievances of the masses. Under such conditions people choice to violent actions and resolve their issues by extreme methods. 6. Poor governance Owing to poor governance, the government is losing control over law and order situation. When individuals put themselves in front of institutions, they set a bad example. Suicide attacks, target killing, robbery and other crimes have become norm of the day. And government seems helpless in this regard. 7. Corruption Corruption has become a major threat to Pakistani society because of four important reasons. First, the image of Pakistan has enormously suffered in the past few decades or so as the corrupt practices while awarding contracts, the launching of foreign funded projects and money laundering done by high level officials earned a bad name for the country. In 1996, transparency international a Berlin based civil society organization, rated Pakistan as the second most corrupt country in the world. The report TI was a source of great shame for Pakistan was it not shattered the country’s image but also discouraged foreign donors to support Pakistan in its developmental projects. When the culture of greed resulting into taking commission from foreign companies and agencies deepened, the trust and confidence of the world diminished. According to TI’s national corruption perception NCP Survey 2010 there occurs widespread corruption in Pakistan from 195 billion rupees in 2009 to 223 billion rupees in 2010. Some of the most corrupt institutions and areas in Pakistan identified by TI are: police, power sector, land administration, communications, education, local government, judiciary, health, taxation and custom. According to TI’s survey, there has taken place manifold increase in corruption in the present government than the previous one. Neither foreign national nor over-seas Pakistanis who may be interested in investing in this country are simply discouraged when they encounter large-scale corruption in the shape of bribery and kickbacks. 8. Division of Agricultural Land Pakistan is an agricultural country. Most of people are farmers by profession. One has land which is fulfilling the needs of his family but he has to divide the land into his children when they got young. After division the land is not sufficient to support a family. Now the families of his children are suffering and spending their lives below poverty line. 9. Materialism In our society social bonding are gradually becomes thinner and thinner. A race of material object has been started even no one tried to understand the problems of others. Everyone is gradually changing from human to a bioman which only know about his needs and have no concept about the limitations of others. People are not ready to help each other. At last everyone has lost his trust on others which affect our social and economic system and it is another cause of poverty. 10. Large Scale Import The import of Pakistan is greater than export. Big revenue is consumed in importing good every year, even raw material has to import for industry. If we decrease import and establish own supply chains from our country natural resources the people will have better opportunities to earn. 11. Law and Order There are lot of problems regarding law and order. Terrorist attacks create uncertainty in stock markets and people earning from stock are getting loss due to which the whole country faces uncertain increase in commodity prices. 12. Fluctuated Foreign investment Foreign investor comes to local markets. They invest millions of dollars in stock markets and stock market gets rise in index. Then the investor withdraws his money with profit and market suddenly collapses. The after math always is faced by poor people. 13. Privatization Government is unable to manage the departments and country has low reserve assets. So the meet the requirements some companies run by government are sold to foreign investors. The commodities or services provided by the companies are becoming costly. For example if government sold a gas plant then prices for gas in country rises. 14. Moral Culture The main reason for poverty is the social dishonesty and irresponsible behavior of people. Everyone is trying to get rich by using unfair means. A shop keeper is ready to get whole money from the pocket of customer. People doing jobs are not performing their duties well. In society the man considered brave or respectful who do not pay taxes or continuously violate the laws. This irresponsible behavior continuously increases and produces loss for county. 15. Political Instability Pakistan has been facing political crisis from its birth (1947) till now. From 1947 to 2010, In this long period many government changed but unfortunately they all could not Maintain the political environment stable, after ruling 1, 2 or three year that governments politically instable. Political instability is a situation when the uncertainty among the government structure expand due to some basic causes and it eventually end up the current government1. Army’s frequent interventions have never given democracy a fair chance to flourish in our country. Our political leaders are also responsible for this predicament. They have always tried to achieve their vested interests in the garb of politics. They have never respected the norms of democracy. Judiciary has also been the victim of such political instability. That’s why; our country has failed to develop healthy political institutions, a lasting democracy and impartial judiciary. Solutions/Remedies to Overcome the Poverty in Pakistan Policies regarding poverty reduction Marshaled by different government could not calculate the desire results. Crudely speaking, this is the gravest problem being faced by Pakistani nation, if not handled with diligent care and implicit faith, will swell and devour the entire mechanism of the state. For a welfare state to get stronger, policies as regards development of poor strata should be the top of the checklist’s behold a time when we shall be steadily hauling our downtrodden economy towards heights, provided that we chalk out such policies that not only project the welfare of effected spots but also transpose their outlook .I propose following measures for extermination of this menace 1.Promote industrialization 2.Replacement of the traditional agricultural equipment with new scientific equipments in order to increase the yield. 3. Establishment of justice and equality 4. Equal distribution of resources 6. Merit should be the upshot strategy in all walks of life 7. Elimination of discriminatory policies 6. Controlling of inflation and other economic indicators and regulators. 8. Developing investment friendly environment 9.Giving more feasibilities and concessions to the foreign investors 10.Dumping extremism and feudalism 11.Establishing more and more technical institute in order to get people well skilled. 12. Prevalence of education 13. Provision of job opportunities 14. Division of agricultural lands among tenants. Conclusion Leadership has got central importance here; with proper planning and good government policies the problem can be solved. All they need to do is to appoint competent and wall qualified economists to help them tackle this issue and obviously their sincerity for its solution cannot be ignored as well. A country economy is the backbone of its country with its solution when it is saved many problems will automatically. Alone leadership is not enough for its solution. People of Pakistan have too got responsibility with equal share. People need to cooperate fully with government and should be sincere with their own country and put all their energies for eradication of poverty. ​

Poverty in Pakistan Essay

Pakistan is a poor and underdeveloped country. Most of its population lives in entirely adverse circumstances. Some reports reveal that more than forty percent population of Pakistan live below the line of poverty. The average income of a poor Pakistani is less than two dollars. A large number of people in our country do not have a proper place to live. This miserable condition has given birth to a large number of beggars and needy people, who live on the charity of the rich people. The economic condition of an average individual is very pathetic. Poverty, hunger and unemployment afflict a large section of the population. The causes of poverty’are quite obvious and known.

Firstly: We are facing a population explosion. There are more mouths to feed than there are hands to earn. One member of the family has to feed and support a large family. His income is limited. He cannot afford to maintain a large family. He works hard and consequently, he falls ill and dies. Then his wife steps in, work in village field or city homes to bring up her children. This cycle of poverty goes on. A poor remains poor the whole of his life. The main cause of poverty in Pakistan lies in the difference between the resources and the population increase.

Secondly: Most of the people in Pakistan are uneducated. They are ill-equipped to lead a good life. They do not know the modern methods of farming. They are ignorant to better ways of earning money in the mills and factories. With poor knowledge of life, they cannot increase production in mills and factories. Modern machinery is mostly computerized. An uneducated person cannot understand and operate the computer. How can he add to his income? The result is that he remains poor till the last moment of his life. It is very sad that rulers do not educate the workers. The workers do not get a chance to earn more money.

Thirdly: Our economic system is based on feudalism. A big landlord keeps the small farmers and workers under his political slavery. The “Haries” in Sindh, for example, have tried to get freedom from the feudal lords but who avail. In Baluchistan, there exists the “Sardari system”. This system does not allow the children of a poor farmer to get the education and find good jobs. Higher education is open only to the children of big landlords and sardars. in Punjab and NWFP the same condition exists.The economic condition of the small farmers and workers cannot become better in the presence of feudal lords i.

Fourthly: Pakistan is a country where there is no social, cultural and economic justice. The rich people in Pakistan are becoming mere rich, while the poor are becoming more poor. The economic disparity between the rich and the poor has eaten the very vitals of society.

Fifthly: Poverty in Pakistan exists due to Scarcity of jobs in the public and government sector. Our rulers are not responsible, dedicated and missionary. They failed to build new dams, a network of industry and roads in the country. The shortage of electricity and gas has resulted in the lock up of mills and factories. New factories were not set up in the past. The result is that our uneducated worker remains unemployed. The educated people have degrees, but they do not have opportunities to get a job. Many countries in the world have solved this problem. Pakistan too can solve the problem by adopting the following measures.

The rulers of Pakistan must discard their lavish way of living. They must be “one” with their people. They must lead a life of a common and hardworking person. This will go a long way to bridge. over the disparity between a rich and poor person. The population explosion must be controlled. People should be educated and guided to produce a small number of children. More industries, mills and factories should be set up to provide jobs to the workers and Small farmers.

3 The Wealth of Poverty-Induced Shame in Urdu Literature

• Published: December 2014
• Cite Icon Cite
• Permissions Icon Permissions

This chapter traces how the connection between poverty and shame is portrayed in samples of Urdu poetry and short stories from the last three centuries. It discusses the literary perceptions of poverty and shame, their mutual interaction, and the arenas in which they coincide. It analyses how literary views evolve under the influence of political, cultural, economic, and social realities of the time, making writers of particular eras perceive the causes, nature, construct, and implications of poverty in different ways. The analysis suggests that social themes such as lineage, caste, social class, and cultural vulnerabilities appear to have a strong albeit complicated interaction with the condition of poverty, and often exacerbate feelings and experiences of poverty-related shame. The chapter ends with a discussion of the consequences of shame resulting from poverty as portrayed in literary works, and the various coping strategies that might be adopted to mitigate its impact.

Grinding Poverty in Pakistan

March 12, 2020 2020 , Archives , Exam Pack , March 2020 Leave a comment

Is Ehsaas Program a panacea?

Since its inauguration in 2018, the Imran Khan-led government has focused more on poverty eradication than any other programme. Without disturbing the landmark poverty alleviation project, i.e. the Benazir Income Support Programme, the PTI government initiated its own projects that are innovative and sustainable as well. Panah Gahs have been functional in major cities to provide shelter to the homeless, while Ehsaas is on its way to a phased completion to provide instant supplies of food, clothing, education, health and subsistence to deserving people. The Division of Poverty Alleviation and Social Safety is unique since it was purpose-established to implement the umbrella initiative, Ehsaas. 

The first pillar on “Addressing elite capture and making the government system work for equality” is targeted against injustices in taxation, water management, and labour laws, among other things. Under this objective, Ehsaas provides for increased government spending on social protection, with a specialized ministry for this purpose and a one-window operation for poor to access these services. Also, pro-poor policies and incentives will be encouraged under National and Provincial Finance Commissions and innovative ways of development funding shall be formulated that will increase the impact of public sector development programs.

The second pillar on “Safety nets” envisions sub-programs including the “Tahafuz” (protection) program which caters to downtrodden and marginalized segments of the society. It will provide legal aid, educational grants and medical insurance for the poor. The “Kifalat” program which provides cash stipends, shelter for orphans, health coverage, livelihood recovery initiatives and other elements required for the overall well-being of the society. The Prime Minister envisions to create laws and initiatives for the welfare of the poor, elderly, orphans, widows, labourers and Pakistani workers abroad.

The fourth pillar on “Jobs and Livelihoods” will formulate a new policy of Solutions Innovation Challenge, Prize Funding, and Venture Capital Funding to develop value chains and solutions for poverty at scale by identifying private-sector partners. It will encourage entrepreneurs by building an enterprising environment, offering business support and expertise, vocational trainings, soft loans, online platforms, manpower export and youth programs.

Another essential element of Prime Minister’s poverty alleviation strategy is the use of digital technology and formation of databases entailing essential information and demographic disbursement of poverty across Pakistan. Moreover, technology will help in bringing change in traditional ways of implementation of projects towards an evidence-based decision-making for an informed policy.

These steps reflect the government’s determination in pursuing Article 38 (d) of the Constitution under which the state is to ensure citizens’ access to fundamental rights such as shelter, clothing, health and education. Despite facing hard financial issues, the PTI government cut development allocations in the budget for 2019-20 but still allocated Rs80 billion for the underprivileged segments of society. In 2020, the sum would be increased to Rs120 billion.

The success of any development recipe lies in its sensitization to the local settings and domestic social environments and most importantly, the efficiency with which these universal development practices are tailored accordingly to indigenous factors and socio-psychological temperaments, and finally, effective implementation.

There are several operational challenges and theoretical policy puzzles that stand in between the effective implementation of Ehsaas program. For instance, the capacity issue. Pakistan has already declared right to education as a fundamental right under Article 25-A. However, this has not resulted in the actual dispensation of free and compulsory education. Pragmatically speaking, there are serious capacity issues for the state when it comes to providing shelter, food, cloth and education as fundamental rights.

As history bears testimony to the fact, one of the main reasons for the failure of development and poverty alleviation programs in Pakistan has been the lack of devolution or excessive centralization. Political interference also tends to create inconsistency and adhocism for such programs that results in their failure. There are several thousand people, if not more, who make a living out of the poverty alleviation agenda. This includes those at the top of hierarchical structures, experts serving as consultants in collaboration with key lenders, and those working in the field down the pecking order. They gobble up a sizeable share of the total spending, including the aid inflow, meant to serve the poverty-stricken multitude. The lenders are not beyond blame either: they knowingly depend on sub-optimal national data and do little, if anything, to force the government to produce something credible. Multiple UN agencies, World Bank, Department for International Development (DFID), Asian Development Bank (ADB) and other key lenders that have a history of engagement in Pakistan can’t be absolved of the responsibility. They are bureaucratic, high on paperwork and low on performance audit and they are incorruptible is a myth.

These factors should be a relevant concern for Ehsaas program. Striking the right balance at this junction is a critical factor for the success of Ehsaas program.

Although reliable statistics are not available on the collective spending on social welfare by the government, non-profit and private sectors, it runs into hundreds of millions of rupees every year. The government, the private sector and the public at large need to redefine their vows to fight poverty. So far the government, through its Ehsaas programme, has several policy windows such as the “National Poverty Graduation Initiative, financial inclusion strategy, and prize funds for innovative solutions such as garbage collecting rickshaws to create jobs. Still, state’s capacity to fight poverty is far from the desired goal. The private sector, though, has partnered with the government in its Langar programme, but its corporate social responsibility programme needs to be streamlined, scrutinised and documented. Pakistan has made a name in philanthropy, and in every nook and corner, charity work is ongoing selflessly. These initiatives must be documented under a governmental window so that they are facilitated and strengthened. The creation of a poverty alleviation ministry can do the needful.

Poverty essay

Introduction The word poverty derived from Latin word “pauper” means “poor”. Poverty refers to the condition of not having the means to afford basic human needs such as clean water, nutrition, health care, clothing and shelter. Poverty is the condition of having fewer resources or less income than others within a society or country, or compared to worldwide averages. Poverty is one of the major social problems which Pakistan is facing. It is one of the most important and sensitive issue not only for Pakistan but for the whole world. Poverty can cause other social problems like theft, bribe, corruption, adultery, lawlessness, injustice etc

15. Political Instability Pakistan has been facing political crisis from its birth (1947) till now. From 1947 to 2010, In this long period many government changed but unfortunately they all could not Maintain the political environment stable, after ruling 1, 2 or three year that governments politically instable. Political instability is a situation when the uncertainty among the government structure expand due to some basic causes and it eventually end up the current government1. Army’s frequent interventions have never given democracy a fair chance to flourish in our country. Our political leaders are also responsible for this predicament. They have always tried to achieve their vested interests in the garb of politics. They have never respected the norms of democracy. Judiciary has also been the victim of such political instability. That’s why; our country has failed to develop healthy political institutions, a lasting democracy and impartial judiciary. Solutions/Remedies to Overcome the Poverty in Pakistan

Policies regarding poverty reduction Marshaled by different government could not calculate the desire results. Crudely speaking, this is the gravest problem being faced by Pakistani nation, if not handled with diligent care and implicit faith, will swell and devour the entire mechanism of the state. For a welfare state to get stronger, policies as regards development of poor strata should be the top of the checklist’s behold a time when we shall be steadily hauling our downtrodden economy towards heights, provided that we chalk out such policies that not only project the welfare of effected spots but also transpose their outlook .I propose following measures for extermination of this menace

1.Promote industrialization 2.Replacement of the traditional agricultural equipment with new scientific equipments in order to increase the yield. 3. Establishment of justice and equality 4. Equal distribution of resources 6. Merit should be the upshot strategy in all walks of life 7. Elimination of discriminatory policies 6. Controlling of inflation and other economic indicators and regulators. 8. Developing investment friendly environment 9.Giving more feasibilities and concessions to the foreign investors 10.Dumping extremism and feudalism 11.Establishing more and more technical institute in order to get people well skilled. 12. Prevalence of education 13. Provision of job opportunities 14. Division of agricultural lands among tenants.

Conclusion Leadership has got central importance here; with proper planning and good government policies the problem can be solved. All they need to do is to appoint competent and wall qualified economists to help them tackle this issue and obviously their sincerity for its solution cannot be ignored as well. A country economy is the backbone of its country with its solution when it is saved many problems will automatically. Alone leadership is not enough for its solution. People of Pakistan have too got responsibility with equal share. People need to cooperate fully with government and should be sincere with their own country and put all their energies for eradication of poverty.

Poverty Essay for Students and Children

500+ words essay on poverty essay.

“Poverty is the worst form of violence”. – Mahatma Gandhi.

How Poverty is Measured?

For measuring poverty United nations have devised two measures of poverty – Absolute & relative poverty.  Absolute poverty is used to measure poverty in developing countries like India. Relative poverty is used to measure poverty in developed countries like the USA. In absolute poverty, a line based on the minimum level of income has been created & is called a poverty line.  If per day income of a family is below this level, then it is poor or below the poverty line. If per day income of a family is above this level, then it is non-poor or above the poverty line. In India, the new poverty line is  Rs 32 in rural areas and Rs 47 in urban areas.

Causes of Poverty

According to the Noble prize winner South African leader, Nelson Mandela – “Poverty is not natural, it is manmade”. The above statement is true as the causes of poverty are generally man-made. There are various causes of poverty but the most important is population. Rising population is putting the burden on the resources & budget of countries. Governments are finding difficult to provide food, shelter & employment to the rising population.

The other causes are- lack of education, war, natural disaster, lack of employment, lack of infrastructure, political instability, etc. For instance- lack of employment opportunities makes a person jobless & he is not able to earn enough to fulfill the basic necessities of his family & becomes poor. Lack of education compels a person for less paying jobs & it makes him poorer. Lack of infrastructure means there are no industries, banks, etc. in a country resulting in lack of employment opportunities. Natural disasters like flood, earthquake also contribute to poverty.

In some countries, especially African countries like Somalia, a long period of civil war has made poverty widespread. This is because all the resources & money is being spent in war instead of public welfare. Countries like India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, etc. are prone to natural disasters like cyclone, etc. These disasters occur every year causing poverty to rise.

Ill Effects of Poverty

Poverty affects the life of a poor family. A poor person is not able to take proper food & nutrition &his capacity to work reduces. Reduced capacity to work further reduces his income, making him poorer. Children from poor family never get proper schooling & proper nutrition. They have to work to support their family & this destroys their childhood. Some of them may also involve in crimes like theft, murder, robbery, etc. A poor person remains uneducated & is forced to live under unhygienic conditions in slums. There are no proper sanitation & drinking water facility in slums & he falls ill often &  his health deteriorates. A poor person generally dies an early death. So, all social evils are related to poverty.

Government Schemes to Remove Poverty

The government of India also took several measures to eradicate poverty from India. Some of them are – creating employment opportunities , controlling population, etc. In India, about 60% of the population is still dependent on agriculture for its livelihood. Government has taken certain measures to promote agriculture in India. The government constructed certain dams & canals in our country to provide easy availability of water for irrigation. Government has also taken steps for the cheap availability of seeds & farming equipment to promote agriculture. Government is also promoting farming of cash crops like cotton, instead of food crops. In cities, the government is promoting industrialization to create more jobs. Government has also opened  ‘Ration shops’. Other measures include providing free & compulsory education for children up to 14 years of age, scholarship to deserving students from a poor background, providing subsidized houses to poor people, etc.

Poverty is a social evil, we can also contribute to control it. For example- we can simply donate old clothes to poor people, we can also sponsor the education of a poor child or we can utilize our free time by teaching poor students. Remember before wasting food, somebody is still sleeping hungry.

The present study explores the social and economic dimensions affecting the poverty culture existing in the slum areas of Karachi, Pakistan. The significance of the study highlights the major causes of hindrance in community development poverty and lack of social indicators-which are becoming a culture of the people as their value system along with feelings of powerlessness, meaninglessness, isolation, social exclusion, and self-estrangement in their group relations. This is a qualitative as well as an exploratory research that highlights the emergence of poverty culture in Pakistan for which the researchers have developed an idiographic model to identify the major variables of poverty culture. The researchers in the present study provide the positive and constructive counter-narratives and recommendations against myths about the culture of the poor people. In the present study, researchers have used facts and figures from the United Nations and World Bank Report of Poverty Reduction.

While teaching young girls from the lower socioeconomic class and usually lower castes in a rural part of Punjab, Pakistan, I witnessed not only class-based learning gaps but also the ways in which class impacts their subjecthood and their academic lives. These experiential facts are even more complicated for those who are multiply marginalized based on class, caste, religion, and other discriminatory factors like color, accent, and hair but whose marginalization remains largely invisible. Storytelling, in these situations, serves both as a personal and political tool for marginalized people to have conversations about these challenges. By using the genre of counterstory, this paper highlights the intersectionality of caste system, gender hierarchy, colorism, and racism, particularly in the context of Pakistan. This "new rhetoric" of counterstory enables a storyteller to bring their experiences to a wider audience and talk about various issues with minimized possibility of chastisement. Many scholars offer and employ this methodology, for example, Martinez, Derrick Bell, and Patricia Williams have written dialogues and told stories by using their experiential knowledge of marginalized and underprivileged communities. Building on this previous work, this paper provides its readers the chance to analyze and understand their experiential knowledge because "counterstory or counter perspective is presented to develop the minoritized viewpoints and to critique the viewpoints which are put forth by various characters."

Waqas Khwaja

This essay explores the concept of a normative national literature in respect of Pakistan as a political State and (putative) independent country by examining the role that language and literature play in bringing people together or segregating them, in being vehicles for their creative spirit, their powers of invention, and, crucially, their ability to be relevant to the building of a vibrant, just, and equitable society. It challenges the idea of considering any one language as “representative of” a multilingual, multicultural, country in the interest of artificially, and arbitrarily, forging a nation and argues that imposition of a linguistic writ from the center not only replicates British colonial policies and approach but also ends up depriving individual provinces and regions of their linguistic recognition and identity. The discussion is augmented by inviting simultaneous consideration of issues related to deep and pervasive class divisions within the Pakistani society.

Analisa: Journal of Social Science and Religion

Tauseef Ahmad Parray

Pakistan, the second most populous Muslim country after Indonesia, came into existence on 14th August, 1947, after the division of ‘British ruled’ India (into India and Pakistan). From its inception to present, Pakistan covers a tumultuous history of over seven decades (1947-2019). Among the South Asian countries, no quantum of scholarship has been produced on any country—its history, religion (and religious ideology), politics, society, economy, and other inter-related issue—than Pakistan. This has continued in the last as well as present century. From 2010 onwards, numerous works have been published on religion, politics, military, and other aspects of Pakistan. This review essay, in this framework, presents an assessment of three (3) important works, published in between 2012 and 2014, so that to get clues of the various aspects of Pakistan. Following a descriptive-cum-comparative methodological approach, the books assessed and examined are: Ian Talbot, Pakistan: A New History (2...

DISCERNING EQUILIBRIUM IN FOOTHOLD BY TAUFIQ RAFAT

Saleha Malik

Taufiq Rafat is hailed as a poet who conceived the concept of ―Pakistani Idiom‖ and his unpublished play, Foothold, remains largely ignored. The plot of this play revolves around the journey of Saleem, the protagonist, in a spiritual and postcolonial setting. Also, this play is not devoid of philosophical questions, i.e. the tussle between ambitions and responsibilities. In this regard, the ideas of ―Suicide‖, ―Absurd‖, and ―Equilibrium‖ as explained by Albert Camus in Myth of Sisyphus and Other Essays will be used to interpret the dialogues of the characters. This study approaches Foothold through the lens of Camus‘ Existentialism and is a close reading of the play Foothold. Furthermore, little or no research can be found on Foothold and this dearth of criticism leads to the significance of the present research. This study would be beneficial for future researchers studying the works of Taufiq Rafat in a postcolonial setting. It will also be useful for researchers focusing on the application of Camus‘ theory of Existentialism on works of fiction.

The Pakistan Development Review

Nasim shah Shirazi

Poverty is a widespread problem that particularly afflicts developing countries. A number of studies, such as Naseem (1973, 1977); Allaudin (1975); Mujahid (1978); Irfan and Amjad (1984); Cheema (1985); Malik (1988); Ercelawn (1990); Ahmad and Ludlow (1989); Havinga et al. (1990, 1990a); Malik (1992, 1994); Zaidi and de Vos (1993); Malik and Shirazi (1994); and Gazdar et al. (1994), have analysed the phenomena of poverty in Pakistan. Some of these studies are based on arbitrarily chosen poverty-lines, and others are based on poverty-lines determined on the basis of nutritional requirements or basic needs of human beings. The incidence of poverty is greatly influenced by the poverty-line used for a particular study. Therefore, the way a poverty-line is defined is of great significance in determining the incidence of poverty. In Islamic literature, certain limits for poverty and prosperity have been prescribed. Fuqaha like Imam Abu Yousuf consider a person prosperous if he owns wealth...

‘Critical gaps’ in understanding climate change fuel tropical disease spread

Facebook Twitter Print Email

A comprehensive review by the UN health agency has revealed critical gaps in understanding the full impact of climate change on malaria, dengue, trachoma and other tropical diseases.

The World Health Organization ( WHO ) study, conducted in partnership with Reaching the Last Mile (RLM), a global health initiative to eliminate neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), found that rising temperatures and changing weather patterns are altering the spread of vector-borne diseases , posing significant health risks.

As the geographical spread of disease vectors like mosquitoes expand, the risk of introducing or reintroducing these diseases to new areas increases. This shift is likely to have the most severe impact on communities already disproportionately affected.

The study analysed peer-reviewed papers from January 2010 to October 2023, crunching data on national disease burdens, healthcare access and climate vulnerability scores.

The majority of data sets used focused on malaria, dengue, and chikungunya, while other NTDs were significantly underrepresented.

Lack of evidence

Only 34 per cent of studies reviewed (174 studies) addressed mitigation and a mere five per cent (24 studies) looked at adaptation, underscoring the dire lack of evidence available to help malaria and NTDs.

Ibrahima Socé Fall, Director of the Global NTD Programme at WHO, emphasized the need for more comprehensive, collaborative and standardized modelling to predict and mitigate effects of climate change on health.

“ This important and timely review reveals alarming trends and is a call to urgent action . Malaria transmission is likely to shift both polewards and to higher altitude, while the mosquito vector responsible for transmission of dengue and chikungunya is predicted to continue to expand its range,” she said.

“If we are to protect and build upon the hard-won victories of the past two decades, the time to mobilize is now.”

Neglected tropical diseases

Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are a diverse group of conditions caused by a variety of pathogens, including viruses, bacteria, parasites, fungi and toxins.

These include Chagas disease, dengue, chikungunya, leprosy, rabies, soil-transmitted helminthiases, snakebite, trachoma and yaws. It is estimated that they affect more than one billion people, according to WHO.
