RECURRING POVERTY AND STATUS OF SOCIAL SECTOR
Today is the need to avail oneself of reviving the definition of poverty, because the common definition of poverty became uncommon among the masses, as it fits for some section but for other section, it became an obsolete tool, hence it is a time which demands a comprehensive revival so that it can encompass society as a whole.
The common definition of poverty which was given by various agencies as following-
poverty is defined as the minimum basic consumption level, essential for survival. It has been defined by the planning commission of India in the term of calories intake. Absolute poverty is a condition, where the calorie intake is less than 2400 kcal. per person per day in the rural area and 2100 kcal. per person per day in urban areas.
The world bank has coined its own universal definition of poverty levels as per person consumption of less than US$1 per day. often pronounced term relative poverty is across differences in income levels of the rich and the relatively poor. Even by this unrefined definition of the planning commission of absolute poverty, it is estimated that over 235 million people are living below the poverty line (BPL). According to the definition of the world bank, the numbers would increase significantly. from the various report, it is evident that India is said to have the largest number of people living BPL. The number of people BPL is even higher than the entire population of the US. Poverty is largely concentrated in states such as UP, Bihar, Orrisa, mp, w.bengal and they accounted for over 50% of the total poverty in India.
THE TIME CROSSES OVER 7 DECADE OF INDEPENDENCE, WHY IS POVERTY BEING RECURRE TO EXIST?
There are so many reasons behind that, but we have to focus on the root cause of recurring poverty which still hanging and reel around the masses.
Very well known that India is an agricultural state, with its large mass dependent on the agriculture and allied activities, which is in India not an employment generating sector or very less employment-generating not sufficient to count. It can be attributed to large economic dependence on the agriculture, upkeep(subsistence), traditional and stagnating, which are not able to provide enough for the dependent population in term of employment opportunities, high level of adult illiteracy, a large number of landless, small and marginal farmers with no income support. There is an absence of employment opportunities in the manufacturing sector due to various reasons.
COULD ANYONE IMAGINE THAT IT IS NOT ABOUT HOW RECURRING POVERTY ESTIMATED UNREFINED OR REFINED?
It is overhead sin of the post-independent India of not being able to address the large scale recurring poverty in the country despite the well conscious schemes as can be seen in the following sections.

- after independence main focus on the social sector.
- strengthening of the banking sector.
- development of infrastructure with inclusive use of science and technology
