Governments working on trying to decrease poverty is what they want you to believe, while in reality the opposite is happening. Poverty is a great tool for the governments to put a major group of people in one place where they can use them for whatever purpose at barely any cost. Without poverty, India isn't able to compete with other countries as multinationals can get things done for peanuts and sell it in wealthy countries with massive profits. That's how it works. If the government is really trying (big scale) to work on poverty, then it directly will also harm the government there as these multinationals simply move to another country with their business.
I agree government want full control and to do that they create proverty and make citizen be dependent in the government for everything. It is no surprise . There are only few government that really cares for its citizen, and majority just want to make their citizen their puppets to earn more money for their own good. So I doubt this kind of government will use any tools or means to elevate their citizens way of living. And Bitcoin actually can't do anything unless a person or group of person utilize it to help build infrastracture or create job demands for this people to earn and they don't need to have pc or smartphone because an exchanger can help on this. Process would be goods sold in bitcoin, bitcoin converted to local currency, local currency be given to workers.
