2. Unequal distribution of land and other assets due to the benefits have been availed by the non-poor.

Critical Assessment of Poverty Alleviation Programmes: Through the policy towards poverty alleviation has evolved in a progres­sive manner but gone any radical transfor­mation. Scholars state three major areas of concern which prevent the success imple­mentation of the programs they are-

• Unequal distribution of land and other assets due to the benefits have been availed by the non-poor.
• In comparison to the magnitude of poverty, the amount of resources al­located for these programmes is not sufficient.
• These programs depend mainly on government and bank officials for their implementation since such officials are ill-motivated, inadequately trained, corruption-prone and vulnerable to pressure from a variety of local cit­ies, the resources are inefficiently used and wasted.
