Welcome To End Poverty!
A little on who we are
End Poverty (EP) is a civil society organization, registered under the Haryana Registration and Regulation of Societies Act, 2012, formed in 2009 with a purpose to contribute towards poverty reduction in India. The idea was to set up an organization that will understand the underlying issues and will collaboratively address them to maximize the impact at ground level.
Child for Child Program in India (Fighting Poverty through Youth Empowerment)

CFC right now contacts almost 1,000,000 special youngsters in 900 schools spread across 417 regions of India, consistently. Likewise, their folks and instructors are additionally associated with the cycle. The program has today contacted each part of India except for Lakshadweep
Every day, more than 50,000 children die from causes directly linked to poverty. Today, it enables a child to die every 3 seconds. Children are the primary victims of poverty, which is the main cause of the violation of their fundamental rights.
Two-thirds of people in India live in poverty: 68.8% of the Indian population lives on less than $2 a day. Over 30% even have less than $1.25 per day available - they are considered extremely poor.
Why focus on Rural Development?
As per the 2011 Census Data, rural population in India comprises about 68.84% of the overall population in the country. It is, therefore imperative that any development programme undertaken in the country must involve the vast rural populace to maximize the impact.
End Poverty realizes this fact and has been striving hard to drive change at the grassroots in our operational areas. The idea has been to build the capacities of rural communities and identify agents of change from those communities itself.
Why focus on Sustainable Agriculture Development?
End Poverty’s programme on sustainable agriculture has been growing in scale and scope year on year. End Poverty nurtures and motivates farmers to adopt best practices in the following ways:
Promotes adoption of sustainable farming techniques to optimise the resources and in turn conserving basic life support systems with focus on land and water conservation
Promotes development of value chains across agricultural commodities with an aim to enhance farmers’ income
Promotes less water consuming crops to remove the stress on the already limited water ground water resources
Builds capacities of farmers to tackle the adverse effects of climate change by adoption of climate resilient farming techniques through series of trainings
Provides for good quality inputs such as seeds and manure to increase productivity and hence the income of the farmers
Provides soil health management services and facilitate soil health cards for the farmers
Organises exposure visits to agricultural universities, Kisan Melas, ICAR’s Krishi Vigyan Kendra, etc. to build the farmers’ capacities on modern agricultural techniques
End Poverty with the support of COFCO
End Poverty with the support of COFCO International is working towards developing sustainable mechanism in the line of mustard value chain in the Chomu Block of Rajasthan by building awareness and capacity of farmers to adopt smart agricultural practices focused around mustard. Through formation of farmer interest groups in at least 20 villages which will act as a catalyst group in the village By formation of a Farmer producer Institution in the region we will be able to aggregate demand for inputs and supply of output (achieving economy of scales). The project focuses on establishing a conflict free and efficient value chain.
Poverty in India
Many factors inform poverty. Globally poverty levels have increased since the lockdown of 2020. The global average is that 85% of the world lives on $30 per day, two-thirds on less than $10 per day and every tenth person lives on less than $1.90 per day. In India, two-thirds of its population lives in poverty, that is, 68.8%. More than half of the Indian people live on less than $2 a day, and over 30% on less than $1.25 a day. This is considered extreme poverty. The question to ask is, what are the root causes of poverty in India? This article looks at four societal problems that inform poverty in India.
