The results revealing that population growth rate is the main cause of increase of poverty. To amend the situation the study is suggesting establishment of the following, the proper link between farmer and available opportunity which is a proper connection between economic growth and farmers income -poverty nexus, and there is also a need to sustain economic growth base on awareness raising on family plan to slow down the rate of population growth.
