Abstract

This paper presents a cross-sectional, inter-regional analysis of poverty and factors which keep poverty from generation to generation with help of a case study of Trans-Giri of Himachal Pradesh. It is calculated that state intervention in alleviation of poverty remain ineffective in presence of caste ridden society. The outcomes reveal that poverty prevailed and percolates with rigidity of social hierarchies. In a caste society, the schemes and programmes meant for targeted population often adversely diverge to the non-poor dominant class. Present case study found that merely focusing on economic measures to target the poor population may results underachievement.
