Discussion
Consider the following statements as per NITI Aayog's 'Multidimensional Poverty in India since 2005-06' report :
1. Multidimensional poverty in India declined significantly between 2013-14 and 2022-23, with more than 24 crore people escaping poverty during this period.
2. All 12 indicators of Multidimensional Poverty Index showed a remarkable improvement during this period.
3. Bihar registered the largest decline in the number of multidimensional poor followed by Odisha.
Which of the statements given above are correct ?
Answer: A
Statements 1 and 2 are correct, so the answer is 1 and 2 only.
NITI Aayog's discussion paper of January 2024 estimated that about 24.82 crore people moved out of multidimensional poverty between 2013-14 and 2022-23, and that all twelve indicators of the index (covering health, education and standard of living) improved over the period.
Statement 3 is wrong. The largest decline in the number of multidimensionally poor people was in Uttar Pradesh (about 5.94 crore), followed by Bihar and Madhya Pradesh; Odisha was not second.
