He said that China created wealth by industrialisation and later utilised it to uplift the lower strata of the society, adding that like China, his government’s main focus is to eliminate poverty by investing in the people living below poverty line.
He said the government is bringing a comprehensive policy to eradicate poverty in which a coordinated effort will be made by all official welfare departments to provide relief to the poor and needy.
Talking about uplift programmes for the lower strata of society, he said the government will invest in health and education for poor people, besides providing them easy loans to build their houses.
