Proposed solutions to urban poverty

1. There should be greater equity in the provision of basic services as interstate and intercity disparity has acquired alarming proportions.

2. Small and medium towns, particularly in backward states, should get special assistance from the central / state government as their economic bases are not strong enough to generate adequate resources.

3. Constitutional amendments for decentralization should be backed up by actual devolution of powers and responsibilities and their use by the municipal bodies.
