Collective efforts and self-reliance essential for poverty eradication: Prem Kumar

Patna, Oct 17 (UNI) Bihar Legislative Assembly Speaker Prem Kumar Saturday called for collective efforts to eliminate poverty, hunger, illiteracy and social inequality on the occasion of the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty.
Kumar appealed to the people of Bihar and the country to ensure that education, healthcare, employment and social security facilities reach those at the bottom of the social and economic ladder. He said poverty eradication requires not only providing essential facilities to those in need but also empowering them to become self-reliant.
The Assembly Speaker said poor families could be made self-sufficient by promoting skill development, women’s empowerment, rural development and self-employment.
He emphasised that building a poverty-free and equitable society was possible only through joint efforts by the government and the public.
On the occasion, Kumar urged citizens to help those in need, encourage education and contribute towards ensuring dignity and equal opportunities for every individual.
