Abstract
Broadly speaking poverty includes the deficiency in the field of food, clothing,
health facility, sanitation, land holding, condition of houses, education and so on. In
Bhalam V.D.C of Kaski district, Gandaki Zone, Nepal, poverty is mainly concentrated
to the weakness in income sources, scarcity of cultivable land, road facility and the
concept of the people living there. People are mostly satisfied with what they have
acquired from their ancestors. There is negligible progress in the earning in
comparision is the condition people were a few decades before.
Reduction of poverty has been felt to some extent. This research study has been
done with the help of various respondents. Ways of reducing the poverty have been
suggested after a detailed study of the condition of some of people who are considered
to be below poverty line.
This study is expected to be of great use for the people who will be highly
interest in finding out the causes of poverty and the reduction of it.
Despite the attempts made by the government every year to reduce poverty the
actual result has not been acheieved due to improper implementation of the plan and
the stagnant attitude of the poor people.
