 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT BEING STEREOTYPED

"The challenge for development professionals, and for policy and practice, is to find ways to weaken
the web of powerlessness and to enhance the capabilities of poor women and men so that they can
take more control of their lives."1

By establishing the idea of rights, empowerment results. When individual rights are included in
policymaking, the justification for reducing poverty is no longer just based on the requirements of
the lower grassroots but also on their rights—entitlements that result in legal duties on the part of
everyone else.

Attributing rural poverty eradication with areas which has strong expansion base and adamant
development goals can turn a rural area with reduced poverty rate. However, economic development
is hardly a miracle cure. 2It is the establishment that fails to provide social services and a social
shield which in result costs a hindrance in the growth of production, supply chain, consumer
satisfaction etc. Rural poverty is exacerbated when underprivileged groups, especially women, are
not given better access to social programs and production factors. Mostly in rural areas dependence,
on most of the natural resources with problems like migration, climate change with other
environmental risks creates a method of imbalance putting undue strain on rural communities where
poverty is already entrenched. On the way to fulfil the objective for the work done in the right
manner nascent and constructive opportunities must be created in a manner where any class can tap
on them. Though the prodigious amount of financially poor grassroots reside in severely backward
region the first and foremost goal should be to edify livelihoods at the regional level done by
fostering stronger rural-urban economic ties and accelerating the adoption of climate-smart and
sustainable production techniques.

The land is under a lot of strain. Subsistence farming on marginal soils exacerbates already existing
environmental damage. Overworked to the point when they are barely still productive
There really are severe shortages of fuel and feed due to the loss of half the forest cover. Droughts
and storms serve as reminders of unwise land use and forest practices as well as the necessity to
approach resource use and production holistically for human wellbeing and the eradication of
poverty.3 Understanding how poverty, resources, and people are related is a problem for
development. The situation for the impoverished is precarious. They are compelled to consume
resources excessively in order to exist, and the ecosystem's depletion makes their existence much
more challenging and unpredictable. The relationship between poverty and the environment, as well
as the necessity of empowering the local population in regard to regional assets and their efficient
allocation, must be included in development thought. All sustainable, social and ecological
development is required.

POVERTY, THE ENVIRONMENT, DEVELOPMENT INTERTEINED

Concern for the people, the individual’s policies, and people-centred institutions are necessary for a
participation policy. Emphasizing anti-poverty efforts to lessen regional disparities has not proven
very effective for bureaucracies. 4“ A number of stakeholders were set up, including the Drought-
Prone Area Program, the District Rural Development Agency, the Desert Development Agency, the
Tribal Development Agency, the Small Farmers Development Agency, and the Regional Rural
Banks. Similar to the Program for Community Development , these institutions increased the lower
levels of bureaucracy, but there was no substantial improvement in the provision of services.” 5The
technological methodology, institutional instability, inadequate delivery, and bureaucratic rigidity are
all blamed for the catastrophe. Insufficient public engagement is at the root of these bureaucratic
institutional frameworks.

 FINANCIAL INCLUSION A FARFETCHED CONCEPT

The concept of financial inclusion focuses on offering financial assistance to those who are affected
by poverty. The phrase is largely used to refer to the reasonable and user-friendly delivery of
deposits and advancing solutions to the deprived. 6
It is a tool for the deprived to get a fair
understanding of getting financially educated which in consequence results in making their inclusion
a lot easier and effective. In case of India only two per cent population was investing in share
market as compared to US the number was around fifty-five per cent and it. A growing number of
companies are now making financial inclusion effective to accomplish because of improvements in
financial technology and digital transformation over a period and moreover a way of providing
people with financial products and services. By providing individuals with essential financial
operations, it pursues to involve everyone in a community, irrespective of their amount of wealth and
resources.

Reports that evaluate the effect of global warming to the global economy, an essential component in
the mystery of how anthropogenic global warming will genuinely frame the financial system so that
policy-makers can judge the level of expenditures in reducing emissions to mitigate the negative
consequences; global analyses of the scientific knowledge and literary works on the worldwide and
sector specific consequences of climate change; the cost of inactivity, which has aided in
highlighting the urgency, scale of the expenditures needed to prevent greater costs, and the intervals
of opportunities for implementing these steps within the most outlay way; the co-benefits that arrive
from trying to take these metrics, particularly for human and environmental health, that have served
as powerful motivators for governance to engage in climate change that measures at the national
level. Evaluations of regional impacts, focusing primarily on agriculture and the precipitation
patterns; national research with more highly specialised research into the climate crisis on
ecosystems, economies, and societies have resulted studies that shows how effects on the value of

CONCLUSION

The elimination of poverty is one of the largest global issues the world is now facing. Because
ending poverty is the foundation of sustainable development, the two ideas are inextricably linked.
Since all progress depends largely on the natural surroundings, the relationship between poverty, the
environment, and development is usually described as a destructive loop. Poverty leads to people
overusing and overwhelming the environment. India's sustainable development must include
decreased disparities and poverty as well as enhanced geographic access to basic amenities. Even
more creative methods of eradicating poverty should be researched, and government should work
hard to create a new collaboration for its growth.
