Poverty Alleviation at Compounding Speed

Can we fill the eyes of the poor with dreams of becoming highly successful in life, with their limited educational qualifications, skill-set and financial resources?Can we create a group of people, who make a living by talking about constructive behaviour like washing hands, using condoms, eating nutritious food, and educating children etc.?Can we create some opportunity to the poor to be rich by adopting good behaviour and encouraging others to adopt good behaviour?Can we direct local influence, un-utilised & under-utilised resources lying with the people, including the most valuable resource ‘time’, towards overall social good?Can we stimulate ‘people’s movement’ towards improving social indicators of the country?This book provides affirmative answers to all these questions.
