Abstract

Poverty is a significant issue affecting humanity, characterized by suffering and inequity. A historical analysis shows that the wealthiest 1.1% of the global population controls about 45.8% of the total wealth, with similar disparities seen in India, where the top 1% owns approximately 40.1%, while the top 10% holds around 72.5% of the nation's wealth. In stark contrast, the bottom 50% of the global population possesses only about 6% of the wealth[i]. This deepening wealth gap is a primary driver of poverty, with the UNDP estimating that around 1.1 billion people are living in poverty worldwide, including approximately 234 million. in India, making it home to a quarter of the world's impoverished population.

Such statistics underline the ongoing struggle for equitable wealth distribution and the urgent need to address these disparities both globally and within India. Present research was undertaken to analyse the impact the DAY- NRLM on the lives of rural poor woman of India, towards changing their destiny.
