dc.description.abstract | V S VYAS and Pradeep Bhargava in their
paper, 'Public Intervention tor Poverty
Alleviation: An Overview' (ERW, October
14-21) have done eloquent scrvice by not
only commissioning nine state-specific
studies on rural poverty but also by preparing
a synthesised overview based on these
studies. My comment is on their conclusion
that poverty can be alleviated with the
intervention of target-group specific poverty
alleviation programme "without spectacular
economic growth". This conclusion
if extended to its logical extreme suggests
that a strategy of poverty alleviation is a
better alternative to growth with social
justice-oriented policy. While Vyas and
Bhargava may not have intended this, the
unintended evil may be taken as good. | |
