Abstract

Poverty is often seen as having low income and inability to access standardized services for living. However, poverty measures have failed to measure the deprivations which are more detrimental in achieving the human well being. Accordingly, development goal is intended to achieve the benefit that are materially sufficient and disregards the resources, which are intrinsically important. Individual’s intrinsic capabilities are often undermined that function for their overall well being.
