PARTH: And I Parth Jain are unveiling and addressing the international day for the eradication of poverty
on behalf of CP3A.
SHAURYA: There’s a famous saying by Mahatma Gandhi, “There’s enough on this planet for everyone's
need but not for everyone's greed”.
(SLIDE 2)
SHAURYA: So, today we will be telling you about what is international day for the eradication of poverty,
when is it, why it exists and how we are moving ahead on the eradication of poverty this year.
(SLIDE 3)
PARTH: So, what is the international day for the eradication of poverty. It is the day we get an
opportunity to learn about and acknowledge the effort and struggle faced by the poor to sleep without
an empty stomach. All the non-government organisations and initiatives have made this day a priority to
eradicate poverty and spread social awareness. This day is that to assist organisations to eliminate
prejudice against the poor and low caste people.

SHAURYA: The general assembly of the United Nations has declared 17th of October as the international
day for the eradication of poverty. The observance of this day can be traced back to early 1990s, since
that day the people of every belief, social origin, castes, race and religions gather to renew their
commitment and solidarity to the people living below the poverty line.

PARTH: There are many social evils in a society which originates from poverty such as child labour, low
wages while working in harsh conditions, suicide under debt, exploitation in terms of financial status and
many other hence if we want a world free of these evils we need to eradicate poverty.
We were so self-centred that while moving ahead we left the others behind and created a economic
disparity between the wealthy and the impoverished. While the needy are suffering from social
discrimination, we are carelessly exploiting them.
(SLIDE 6)
SHAURYA: This year we are all focusing on dignity for all in practice and the commitments we make
together for social justice, peace and the planet. Dignity is not an abstract concept, but is a fundamental
right for every human and especially for 1.3 billion people still living in multidimensional poverty and
half of which are young children and youth. With a commitment to end poverty, protect the planet and
maintain peace, the 2030 agenda states the same promise under Universal Declaration Of Human
Rights. The Covid-19 pandemic clearly highlighted the failures and the inequalities in diverse fields of
discrimination and was like a new violence against the people living in poverty.
But this year marks the 30th anniversary of the international day for the eradication of poverty and
honours millions of people suffering from poverty and showing the courage to fight for themselves.
