Jose!! the real pressing needs the government has to do is give them opportunity which it has given to everybody some people are poor because they do not work, there is no unemployment, it is only if you are with the government job people consider employed otherwise not. Secondly walk into any industrial and commercial area you have loads of people asking for help but nobody turns, i have advertised atleast ten times in newpapers and net for jobs but nobody turns up , reason simple how can i work at the other end of the city or different city , i can go without meal but will not travel. What is government going to do , in terms of space and other fields it needs to grow to keep up with the world and provide it citizens security , create employment and develop the nation, with isro thousands of families get food on daily basis who are attached to it directly or indirectly. you are just seeing it from one end. if you stop this development you will add to more people to the same category what you have percieved.
