25 cr Indians have been raised from poverty since 2013-14, says Govt. MPI uses indicators covering three main areas: health, education, and standard of living
The multi-count index of poverty used by Niti Aayog provides a rounded look at the well-being of our worst-off but the idea of it is to identify dimensions that need more alleviation efforts. India’s government should re-adopt the use of consumption expenditure findings to estimate poverty.
A NITI Aayog’s discussion paper claiming that 24.82 crore Indians have escaped multidimensional poverty has put the spotlight on poverty estimation methods.
An estimated 24.8 crore Indians may have moved out of multidimensional poverty in the past nine years, with UP and Bihar recording the biggest improvement, according to a new paper by Niti Aayog officials.
India’s so-called multidimensional poverty fell from 29.17% in 2013-14, when the Modi government assumed power, to 11.28% in 2022-23 | Latest News India
