Humanity has always needed tools that can bring ease and comfort. In the Stone Age, they sharpened stones to form hunter-gathering tools. When human beings became civilized and knowledge spread like a wildfire, they needed something that can preserve information.

Strategies for the Alleviation of Poverty Haseeb Sarwar has done BS (hons) Economics from Government College University Lahore. He has previously qualified Planning Officer, AD Industries, District Population Officer, Tehsildar BPSC Despite rise in global wealth and transformative, innovative inventions, poverty still persists. Rooted in a number of causes such as resource mismanagement, ill-conceived policies of governments, and unequal distribution of opportunities, poverty is a multidimensional problem that only exacerbates inequalities and social evils. Therefore, there is no single solution to root out this curse completely. A multifaceted framework is required. Firstly, the government should provide quality education and adequate employment opportunities. Quality education is the path toward upward mobility and increased employability. Aligning national policies with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is equally important, as these goals are interconnected, and working on one goal will have impact on others. In addition, social support programs such as the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) can help alleviate poverty to a great extent. Women empowerment is also necessary. Above all, the government must show political will and set aside vested interests. As Nelson Mandela said, “As long as poverty, injustice, and gross inequality exist in our world, none of us can truly rest.” Therefore, eradicating poverty is not only a moral obligation but also economically vital.

In the Age of Information, Ignorance is a choice. Haseeb Sarwar has done BS (hons) Economics from Government College University Lahore. He has previously qualified Planning Officer, AD Industries, District Population Officer, Tehsildar BPSC With the invention of Internet and rise of social media, information and knowledge became readily available in sheer volumes. With a single click, people can now access the topics of their interest and learn about it. The development of artificial intelligence (AI) tools such as ChatGPT and other tools have further brought the knowledge at one’s palm. However, despite immediate accessibility to the door of knowledge, many people inadvertently opt to remain ignorant. They think that ignorance is a bliss as it will shield them from harsh realities of the outside world. Besides, extremity of information also dissuade them from engaging. Even highly educated people are unable to filter out the information that is of importance from the bulk. Moreover, as social learning theory suggests, people learn behavior from others. The influence of one’s clique also keeps one to remain behind in acquiring knowledge. Individuals also do not want their existing beliefs threatened by transformative impact of knowledge. However, ignorance should not be a deliberate choice unless being forced by others. To keep oneself behind in seeking knowledge is against human spirit.
