    The document discusses poverty alleviation as a primary goal of the 11th Five Year Plan in India. It notes that over 300 million people in India are considered poor according to government definitions, and that number has not declined much in the past two decades. The 11th Plan aims to reduce poverty numbers through an "inclusive growth" approach of benefiting the poor disproportionately from economic growth. This will be achieved through rapid job creation, greater investments in health, education, and targeted poverty programs. The document also provides state-level data on the percentage of the population considered poor from 1973 to 2004 using the Indian government's measurement methodology.

    Poverty Alleviation in XI Plan

    INCLUSIVE GROWTH
    Prof. Hanumant Yadav

    Prof. H. Yadav 1
    Inclusive Growth in XIth Plan
    • Inclusive growth means reducing the
    number of poor persons with economic
    growth.
    • India is a nation of over 300 million poor
    people, a number that has not shown any
    signs of decline over the last two decades
    of development.
    • Reducing poverty is a primary goal of
    government policy and the primary
    objective of the 11th Five Year Plan.
    Prof. H. Yadav 2
    Inclusive Growth in XIth Plan
    • It is therefore the Eleventh Five Year Plan has
    addressed the task of reducing the numbers of
    the poor frontally by adopting inclusive growth
    approach which means benefit to the poor
    disproportionately from economic growth.
    • So Economic growth is treated on par as a
    policy objective with human capital formation
    and programmes that directly target poverty
    reduction – so that a synergy emerges between
    these objectives.
    Prof. H. Yadav 3
    Inclusive Growth in XIth Plan
    • The Eleventh Five Year Plan stresses on
    (i) rapid employment expansion than
    hitherto,
    (ii) greater investment in health, education,
    water/sanitation and child nutrition than so
    far, and
    (iii) directly targeted poverty-reduction
    programmes.

    Measuring the Poor in India :

    1- Head Count Ratio


    The Head Count Ratio method uses the
    consumption expenditure on food and non-food
    items, based on a basket that was determined in
    1973-74 (National Sample Survey ) which has
    since remained constant.
    India has been successfully reduced the share of
    the poor in the population by 27.3 percentage
    points from 54.8 in 1973 to 27.5 in 2004
