The overwhelming consensus for eradicating poverty appears to be "Microfinance",validated by the noble prize for Younis of Grameen Bank.

> I have been looking for microfinancing to Indian poor and so far could not find any. Kiva.org seems to be very promising,but no Indian poor has yet been identified..

Any inputs?

This may be unrelated but I'm in the mood for some sarcasm...

Government has instructed banks to give more loans to minorities.
