Abstract
Chronic poverty and hunger remain serious problems in spite of economi c growth. There are many approaches to the problem of chronic poverty in developing countries. India has implemented various poverty allevia tion programmes. A study of these programmes in a tribal block in the state of Orissa shows that empowerment through local democracy, land r eform and education along with better credit delivery and growth of th e rural non-farm sector are necessary to help the poorest of the poor.
