Education!! Education only can bring change. It will create diverse jobs. People will start diverse businesses.
The informal economy of India, is not documented and not governed by any law that protects the rights of the workers and hence is unsustainable.
Population control my maid has 7 kids and she struggles to take care of them the kids have now started doing crime to feed themselves as they are uneducated unskilled individuals.
Minimize corruption first. Stress of educating kids ethics, morals and dangerous repercussions of being corrupted, bring in harsh laws for it.
Some may be poor, but most of the beggars specially with child are not really poor, it is actually their business.
The government manipulate the definition so that it seems less number of people below the poverty line.
Poverty gets reduced over generations. In 1947, more than 60 pc of India was living under abject poverty. That number has been reduced to 21 pc.
