At the heart of every human experience is the desire to survive and prosper, to live without fear,hunger or suffering. Poverty can't be termed as a blessing because it refers to that state which fails to provide minimum necessities of life. Poverty leads to extreme lower standards of living, denying even the basic requirements of life to a vast majority of population. When a substantial segment of population is deprived of minimum standard of living, that society is said to be plagued with mass poverty. No individual or country is absolutely rich or poor.

Poverty is a curse for any country or human being. Although many countries are facing this problem to some extent, it is a havoc in various African and Asian countries. Poor are the people who have been left far behind in the

miseries and unhappiness to the sufferers. It brings mental instability in a person due to which entire family suffers and this suffering passss on from one generation to anothergeneration. A person living in poverty cannot think beyond arranging his two times meal. Education and awareness becomes secondary to him. Quantity of food available per head of poor population is meagre and quality is invariably indifferent. Nutritional content of consumption is grossly inadequate and hunger, starvation and disease are fairly widespread. It manifests itself in it's starkest form in the shape of deprived millions of rural masses who do not have the means of meeting their barest minimum nutritional requirements.

Poverty eclipses the brightest virtues and is the very sepulcher of brave designs, depriving a man of brave designs, depriving a man of the means to accomplish what nature has fitted him for. Many souls may be said to have been dead among the living or buried alive in the obscurity of their condition, whose perfections have rendered them the darlings of Providence and campanions of angels.
