Abstract
Today almost all societies in the world are suffering with some or the other social problems. A social problem is a condition or set of events that some people in society view as being undesirable. India is facing a large number of social issues such as caste system, child labor, illiberally, gender inequality, superstitions, religions conflicts and many more. It is high time that the society gets relief from these undesirable social evils. The menace of illiteracy affects many countries today and it is further complicated by strong links between illiteracy and poverty. India’s official poverty measure has long been based solely upon the ability to purchase a minimum recommended daily diet of 2,400 kilocalories in rural areas where about 70 percent people live and 2,100 kilocalories in urban areas. Rural areas usually have higher kilocalories requirements because of greater physical activity among rural residents. The BPL (below poverty line) populations are currently estimated at 29 percent in rural areas and 26 percent in urban areas. The BPL estimates set a rough ceiling on how many people are eligible for BPL identity cards, which provide some commodities at greatly reduced prices.
