This study presents a critical evaluation of the poverty alleviation programmes that the Indian government specifically implemented in rural areas after independence. This study's aim is to evaluate the effects of various poverty alleviation initiatives on the socioeconomic status and standard of living of rural residents of India as well as the reasons why some of these initiatives have failed and have drawn criticism. The paper is based on secondary data sources, including reports and documents from the government. Bar graphs, line graphs, and images have been used to present quantitative data throughout the entire paper, which is based on a qualitative methodology. This paper has provided a critical assessment of programmes like TRYSEM, IRDP, MGNREGA, etc. These programmes highlight achievements in generating income and building infrastructure while highlighting problems like corruption and poor targeting. The results paint a complex picture of rural India's efforts to reduce poverty. There are still issues like administrative roadblocks, corruption, poor targeting, and low awareness, despite the fact that some programmes have produced commendable results in terms of creating income, improving livelihoods, and developing infrastructure. Additionally, there are concerns about the sustainability and long-term effects of these interventions, necessitating a more thorough investigation of the structural barriers to holistic advancement.
