Poverty is a term with which many developing countries are suffering. Even after more than 50 years of planning, various poverty alleviation programs, official estimates shows that around 26.1 percent of total population still lives below the poverty line in India. The financial requirement is one of the basic needs of the poor rural people of the society for their socio-economic upliftment.
