Poverty as a Social Problem

Poverty is one of the foremost social problems facing India and other countries.John Gillin asserted that poverty may be regarded as that condition in which a person either because of inadequate income or unwise expenditures does not maintain a scale of living high enough to provide for his physical and mental efficiency and to enable him and his natural dependents to function usually according to the standards of soceity of which he is a member. Poverty exists when one is not able to get sufficent food and necessities of life.Rich and poor have always existed in society but historically the existence of poverty did not constitute an important social problem until exchange system and a scale of values came into existence.When trade expanded some people bagan to amass wealth leading to its uneven distribution. They started living a luxurious life depriving others of comforts.The members of society began to compare the differences in economic status and look upon themselves as either poor or rich in accordance with the prevailing living standards.SO poverty is considered a problem only when obvious differences in economic status among members of a society are established and comparisons and evaluations of those differences are made.In the absence of these differences ,poverty does not exist even though life may be most precarious.Poverty is relative to richness .it isonly when people feel resentment at their lot as compared with that of others that they feel this sting of poverty.In case of extreme privation too they may feel this sting without comparing their lot with that of others.They fail to achieve more than what they have and the awareness of this failure causes resentment of poverty among them.It is the attitude of resentment which brings the problem of poverty tothe forefront.It is then that poverty becomes a social problem.

"Garibi ake Abhishap hey" and only solution is education but for education also require money.

So may persons in this country those not afford food for two time than how person think to educate their child.
