Government schemes eliminate extreme poverty in Uttar Pradesh village

Raghauli village in Uttar Pradesh has become the state's first to eliminate extreme poverty by saturating its residents with government welfare schemes. The village, with a population of 2,500, saw all eligible members of 22 extremely poor families enrolled in 15 government programs, including housing, healthcare, and employment initiatives. This was achieved under the BR Ambedkar Zero Poverty Scheme. The initiative, part of a broader effort to make Uttar Pradesh a zero-poverty state, involved identifying beneficiaries and ensuring they received benefits, with ongoing monitoring planned.
