END POVERTY IN ALL ITS
FORMS EVERYWHERE.

Sustainable Development Goal 1 (SDG 1 or Global Goal 1),

one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals established by
the United Nations in 2015, calls for the end of poverty in all
forms. The official wording is: "No Poverty". Member countries
have pledged to "Leave No One Behind": underlying the goal is
a "powerful commitment to leave no one behind and to reach
those farthest behind first".
SDG 1 aims to eradicate every form of extreme
poverty including the lack of food, clean drinking water,
and sanitation. Achieving this goal includes finding solutions to
new threats caused by climate change and conflict. SDG 1
focuses not just on people living in poverty, but also on the
services people rely on and social policy that either promotes or
prevents poverty.
The goal has seven targets and 13 indicators to
measure progress. The five outcome targets are: eradication of
extreme poverty; reduction of all poverty by half;
implementation of social protection systems; ensuring equal
rights to ownership, basic services, technology and economic
resources; and the building of resilience to environmental,
economic and social disasters. The two targets related to means
of implementation SDG 1 are mobilization of resources to end
poverty; and the establishment of poverty eradication policy
frameworks at all levels.
Despite the ongoing progress, 10 percent of the world's
population live in poverty and struggle to meet basic needs such
as health, education, and access to water and sanitation. Extreme
poverty remains prevalent in low-income countries, particularly
those affected by conflict and political upheaval. In 2015, more
than half of the world's 736 million people living in extreme
poverty lived in Sub-Saharan Africa. The rural poverty rate
stands at 17.2 percent and 5.3 percent in urban areas (in 2016).
One of the key indicators that measure poverty is the proportion
of population living below the international and national poverty
line. Measuring the proportion of the population covered
by social protection systems and living in households with
access to basic services is also an indication of the level of
poverty.

THE TARGETS
Everyone can help to make sure that we meet the Global Goals. Use these
seven targets to create action to end poverty in all its forms.

ERADICATE EXTREME POVERTY

By 2030, eradicate extreme poverty for all people everywhere, currently
measured as people living on less than $1.25 a day

REDUCE POVERTY BY AT LEAST 50%

By 2030, reduce at least by half the proportion of men, women and children of
all ages living in poverty in all its dimensions according to national definitions.
IMPLEMENT SOCIAL PROTECTION SYSTEMS
Implement nationally appropriate social protection systems and measures for
all, including floors, and by 2030 achieve substantial coverage of the poor and
the vulnerable.

EQUAL RIGHTS TO OWNERSHIP, BASIC

SERVICES, TECHNOLOGY AND ECONOMIC
RESOURCES
By 2030, ensure that all men and women, in particular the poor and the
vulnerable, have equal rights to economic resources, as well as access to basic
services, ownership and control over land and other forms of property,
inheritance, natural resources, appropriate new technology and financial
services, including microfinance.
BUILD RESILIENCE TO ENVIRONMENTAL,
ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL DISASTERS
By 2030, build the resilience of the poor and those in vulnerable situations and
reduce their exposure and vulnerability to climate-related extreme events and
other economic, social and environmental shocks and disasters.
MOBILIZE RESOURCES TO IMPLEMENT
POLICIES TO END POVERTY
Ensure significant mobilization of resources from a variety of sources,
including through enhanced development cooperation, in order to provide
adequate and predictable means for developing countries, in particular least
developed countries, to implement programmes and policies to end poverty
in all its dimensions.
CREATE PRO-POOR AND GENDER-SENSITIVE
POLICY FRAMEWORKS
Create sound policy frameworks at the national, regional and international
levels, based on pro-poor and gender-sensitive development strategies, to
support accelerated investment in poverty eradication actions.

Schemes like Pradhan Mantri Awas

Yojana and Housing for All by 2022
were developed to provide housing to the
rural and urban poor. The latest
government schemes like Start-Up
India and Stand Up India focuses on
empowering people to earn their
livelihood.
Poverty Alleviation in India- Five Year
Plans
Eleven Five Year Plans were launched to
eradicate poverty from India. The list of
these Five Year Plans that started in the year
1951 is given below:
 First Five Year Plan (1951- 1956): The
plan focused mainly on agriculture and
irrigation and aimed at achieving an all-
round balanced development.
 Second Five Year Plan (1956-1961): It
focused on the growth of basic and
heavy industries, expansion in
employment opportunities, and an
increase of 25 per cent in the national
income.
 Third Five Year Plan (1961-1966): The
Chinese aggression (1962), Indo-Pak war
(1965), and the severest drought led to
the complete failure of the third five-year
plan. It was replaced by three annual
plans that continued from 1966 to 1969.
 Fourth Five Year Plan (1966-1974): It
aimed at increasing national income by
5.5 per cent, creating economic stability,
reducing inequalities in income
distribution, and achieving social justice
with equality.
 Fifth Five Year Plan (1974-1979): This
plan mainly focused on the removal of
poverty (Garibi Hatao) and aimed in
bringing larger sections of the poor
masses above the poverty line. It also
assured a minimum income of Rs. 40 per
person per month calculated at 1972-73
prices. The plan was terminated in 1978
 instead of (1979) when the Janata
Government came to power.
 Sixth Five Year Plan (1980-
1985): Removal of poverty was the main
objective of the sixth five-year plan with
a major focus on economic growth,
elimination of unemployment, self-
sufficiency in technology, and raising the
lifestyles of the weaker sections of the
society.
 Seventh Five Year Plan (1985-90): The
Seventh Five Year Plan aimed in
improving the living standards of the
poor with a significant reduction in the
incidence of poverty.
 Eighth Five Year Plan (1992-97): This
plan aimed at employment generation
but later failed in achieving most of its
targets.
  Ninth Five Year Plan (1997-2002): The
ninth five-year plan focused on the areas
of agriculture, employment, poverty, and
infrastructure.
 Tenth Five Year Plan (2002-2007): The
tenth five-year plan aimed at the
reduction of the poverty ratio from 26
per cent to 21 per cent by the year 2007
and also to help the children in
completing five years of schooling by
2007.
 Eleventh Five Year Plan (2007-
2012): The eleventh five-year plan
targets towards reducing poverty by 10
percentage points, generating 7 crore
new employment opportunities, and
ensuring electricity connection to all
villages.
