By IBNS
Jul 20, 2023..

NITI Aayog Vice Chairman Suman Bery, reported India has achieved a significant decline in multidimensional poverty, with a remarkable 13.5 crore people escaping poverty between 2015-2016 and 2019-2021. Assam emerges as a front-runner, with an impressive 46 lakh people moving out of poverty in the same period.


The National Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI), which measures deprivations in health, education, and standard of living, has shown substantial improvements in all 12 indicators, reported EastMojo.

India's MPI value has nearly halved from 0.117 to 0.066, setting the nation on track to achieve the SDG target of reducing multidimensional poverty by half ahead of the 2030 timeline.

Rural areas have witnessed the fastest decline in poverty, reducing from 32.59% to 19.28%, while urban areas also saw a decrease from 8.65% to 5.27%. Uttar Pradesh leads in poverty reduction, with 3.43 crore people lifted out of poverty. Other states showing notable progress include Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, and Rajasthan.

The government's dedicated efforts in improving access to sanitation, nutrition, cooking fuel, financial inclusion, drinking water, and electricity have led to these remarkable advancements.

Flagship programs like Poshan Abhiyan, Anaemia Mukt Bharat, Swachh Bharat Mission, Jal Jeevan Mission, Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana, PMAY, PMJDY, and Samagra Shiksha have played pivotal roles in this success.

India's commitment to improving citizens' lives and achieving sustainable development has been commendable, with a strategic focus on eradicating poverty by 2030, in adherence to the SDGs. The nation's efforts have transformed the lives of millions, leading to a brighter future for all.
