Question

Identify the incorrect statement from the following:

विकल्प

• The government’s approach to poverty reduction was three-dimensional.

• Economists state that the benefits of economic growth have not trickled down to the poor.

• Most poverty alleviation programmes implemented are based on the perspective of the five year plans.

• Contracting wage employment programme was the major way to address poverty. 

Answer 1

Contracting wage employment programme was the major way to address poverty.

Explanation:

The major approach is not limited to contracting wage employment alone but includes diverse strategies like economic growth promotion and ensuring minimum basic needs. Economists also state that benefits of economic growth have not fully trickled down to the poor, which highlights the multi-faceted approach needed for poverty reduction, rather than relying solely on wage employment programmes.
