Hello PrashantAgarwal,

We hope this finds you well.

To answer your query, "their" cannot refer to "institutions", as this reference would be completely illogical in this context; it makes no sense to say that the institutions eliminated their own societal ills.

We hope this helps.
All the best!

But that wouldn't make any sense.

The idea that DOES make sense there is "the social ills that come with poverty". So its = poverty's.

This problem depends far too much on the meaning of "concomitant" (= going together with / correlating with), by the way. GMAC's SC problems are carefully crafted so that they do NOT turn on advanced vocabulary words. (If there is a relatively obscure word in a GMAC problem, then either /1/ you'll be given more than enough context clues to figure out what you need to know about that word's meaning, or else /2/ the meaning of the word just won't matter all that much beyond "oh look, specific thing".
