SDG 1 No Poverty: End Poverty in all its forms Everywhere

By Dr Guhan Babu Azhagesan

Eradicating poverty in all its forms remains one of humanity's most urgent challenges. Aligned with Sustainable Development Goal 1 of the United Nations, this book explores pathways toward a poverty-free world by examining poverty's multidimensional nature, including access to education, healthcare, livelihoods, social protection, and dignity. Drawing on empirical research and policy analysis, the volume examines why poverty persists despite decades of development planning, focusing on marginalized groups such as tribal communities, informal workers, and women-headed households, and highlighting how structural inequalities, climate risks, and uneven growth sustain poverty traps in the Global South. The book presents strategies such as sustainable livelihood models, financial inclusion initiatives, and rights-based welfare approaches, arguing that poverty eradication is achievable when economic progress aligns with social justice and accountable governance. Designed for scholars, policymakers, practitioners, and students, the volume affirms that ending poverty is not merely a development target but a moral imperative for a resilient society. This book is part of the Interdisciplinary Book Publication Drive 2026, an initiative of the Office of Research & Development, Madras Christian College, reaffirming our dedication to academic scholarship and the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.
