7
TYPES OF
POVERTY
What is the difference between IEP and regular Government Schools?
IEP schools, apart from regular academics, work towards education
children in the age group 11-15 on the 7 types of Poverty which
are required to uplift the quality of life. Our usual assumption
of Poverty is only Economic Poverty. However, this is just one of
the kinds. We have to even look at the following types to ensure
quality of life improved:
1. Economic Poverty
2. Bodily Poverty
3. Mental Poverty
4. Cultural Poverty
5. Spiritual Poverty
6. Political Poverty
7. Societal Poverty
Now, it makes more interesting to understand these aspects.
Economic Poverty
Lack of monitory demands for providing themselves with Food, Cloth and
Shelter. Please note that money need for only the mentioned attributes
falls under this category.
Bodily Poverty
Lack of property physical health and access to health living conditions.
Mental Poverty
Lack of thinking, which is resultant of lack of access to education and
knowledge.
Cultural Poverty
Lack of coming together in a society. No collaborative activities taking
place which leads to disconnect between people.
Spiritual Poverty
Surprising right? Yes, lack of feeling of togetherness/brotherhood plays
an important role in bringing people together.
Political Poverty
Lack of understanding of how system works. The basic problem is the
understanding of how to cast one's vote and elect their leader.
Societal Poverty
Lack of social connectivity.
