Poverty alleviation
Poverty alleviation in this country is really a mammoth task. Nevertheless, Bangladesh has been struggling hard to get over abject poverty. It is, indeed, a big challenge for our country because poverty is still so deep-rooted here.
Some 46 % of the total population of Bangladesh live below poverty line. Most of them cannot afford two square meals for survival, clothes to put on, a roof over their heads to shelter themselves.
The main reason of poverty in Bangladesh lies in the bureaucracy responsible for poor administration and exploitation. Nearly 80 % people of the country live in villages. Poverty of the rural people is the main problem. So poverty can be alleviated if the poverty of the rural people is removed.
To reduce poverty at least to the minimum level the microcredit system can play a vital role. By providing microcredit it is possible to transform unemployed helpless people into active working people.
Above all, to alleviate poverty people from all walks of life have to come forward.
