Directions- (Q. 46 to 50) Read the passage given below and answer the following question as per understanding of the passage.

Extreme poverty is the result of permanent or long lasting forms of precariousness that undermine the capacity of individuals, families, communities and population groups. Extreme poverty cannot be overcome by material aid and capacity building alone, nor can poverty reduction initiatives be successful unless they are based on the recognition of the inherent dignity and on the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family.

In practice all over the world, social workers concern about poverty has increased because of their long history n working with the marginalized, or excluded, those lacking resources, scenarios which push them to poverty situations. There dimensions of extreme poverty namely: income poverty, human development poverty and social exclusion have been central concepts in the development of social work over the past century. At the micro level of daily practice, social workers are used to deal with poverty and also with the risk assessment, working creatively and innovatively to help people (individuals and communities) to understand their situation and to change their behavior and their environment, where possible.

One role that derives increased attention s community development, which requires skill in community analysis social planning, community organizing and social action. Community development requires the ability to foster economic opportunities for area residents through work on industrial retention, local business development, job training, and placement. Another role is community practice which calls for social workers to help people to discover their own resources and their own ability to create influence and positive change. The importance of this has been underscored by realizing that poverty involves a complex set of interactions between personal characteristics and a community’s resources and opportunities.

At times the role of social workers involves making though judgments about risk to individuals and at times they have to use their ability and influence to protect the victims of poverty from themselves or from others. Examples include situations of domestic violence, child abuse or mental health. Social worker’s long history of working with people in poverty situations and witnessing their changing behavior illustrates the importance of integrating theory about professional values that respect people, their choices and decisions.

In this approach, community practice combines work with individuals and families with community work, focusing on enhancing resources and opportunities along with personal capacities and as individuals develop out of their poverty situations, so do communities, and the two become mutually reinforcing, creating a comprehensive and integrated model that addresses social and economic exclusion and social disintegration which is necessary for effective poverty eradication.
