The war on poverty is our first priority.
In the past five years, other than ten crore of our poor
have been raised above the poverty line. Our goal is to
remove poverty and create fuller employment.
The
Twenty Point Programme is the cutting edge of the plan for
the poor. The programme has been restructured in the light
of our achievements and experience and the objectives of
the Seventh Plan. The restructured programme renews our
commitment to:
-
eradicating poverty
-
raising productivity
-
reducing income inequalities
-
removing social and economic disparities, and improving
the quality of life.
