This paper, therefore, focuses on the human rights consequences of climate induced disasters, particularly for young girls and women in the Indian context and how the inclusion of gendered vulnerabilities has often been neglected in climate change policies leaving young girls and women more vulnerable to climate change impacts. The primary objective of this paper is to highlight how climate change exacerbates pre-existing gender inequalities and also compound intersecting forms of discrimination against young girls and women belonging to poor and marginalized sections of the Indian society who are often affected disproportionately compared to men.

The institutional malady needs to be rectified in the long run. The effect of an unequal distribution of income yielding assets has been cumulative, resulting in the continuance and intensification of this skewness. Any attempt to break the vicious circle of poverty without tampering with the vicious circle of affluence will not affect the cumulative process or halt the widening gap between the rich and the poor. It is in this context that Garibi Hatao (Removal of poverty) is incomplete as a drive in the eradication of poverty. In other words it must be complemented with Amiri Hatao (Removal of affluence) .The removal of poverty continues to be an elusive goal, and thus the progress in achieving this goal is rather halting. So the present study is based on the analysis of effectiveness of poverty eradication programme in the new millennium.
