Limitations
 Millions of people are homeless in India and the world, which is
also a cause of poverty. Without a permanent house, most of them
have to stay in different places in a particular time. Basic needs:
The people living below poverty line, don't get access to their basic
needs like fresh water, food, hygiene, etc.

demographics
 Conclusion
 Though there are some limitations, the NGO’s are
working positively and have been accepted as an
effective tool for poverty alleviation. Bangladesh
government has given top priority for poverty
reduction. But it is  quite impossible to reduce
poverty single handedly. So government is working
together with different NGO’s in rural areas to make
the people self-employed. Here micro-credit of
different NGO’s is the most important weapon for
poverty reduction. We hope that if concerted effort is
made, poverty can be reduced significantly  in
Bangladesh.
