The global jury may still be out on India’s achievement in poverty reduction and unyielding on factoring in critical yardsticks of measuring decline in India’s poverty but the 24.82 crore people who escaped multidimensional poverty in the last nine years, were lifted out through due to significant initiatives of the Government to address all dimensions of the poverty between 2013-14 to 2022-23. These interestingly, include initiatives which have facilitated better maternal health and financial inclusion, that global commentaries on multi-dimensional poverty remain shy of acknowledging.
There was a steep decline in poverty headcount ratio from 29.17% in 2013-14 to 11.28% in 2022-23 with all 12 MPI indicators show significant signs of improvement and the achievement is crowned by poorer states recording faster decline in poverty—indicating reduction in disparities led by Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Madhya Pradesh recording largest decline in the number of MPI poor between 2013-14 and 2022-23, according to the second edition of the National Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) representing India’s progress in reducing poverty.
