Article:<\/b><\/p>\n

  1. The article highlights India\u2019s progress in eradicating multidimensional poverty<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Important analysis:<\/b><\/p>\n

    Multidimensional poverty:<\/b><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Multidimensional poverty goes beyond the economic\/income-based approach and takes into account different depreciations experienced by a poor person- such as poor health, lack of education, inadequate living standard, disempowerment, poor quality of work and threat from violence.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Multidimensional poverty index (MPI)<\/b><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) was developed in 2010 by the Oxford Poverty & Human Development Initiative (OPHI) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)<\/span><\/li>\n
      2. The MPI has three dimensions: health, education, and standard of living. These are measured using 10 indicators<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Multidimensional Poverty in India<\/b><\/p>\n

          \n
        1. According to MPI 2018, India has lifted 271 million people out of multi-dimensional poverty in the 10 years between 2005-06 and 2015-16. <\/span><\/li>\n
        2. Poverty rate fell from 55% to around 28% over the 10-year period.<\/span><\/li>\n
        3. Multidimensional poverty is particularly acute and significant in the four states of Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh<\/span><\/li>\n
        4. Delhi, Kerala and Goa have the lowest incidence of multidimensional poverty.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Note:<\/b> The MPI used data from the third and fourth rounds of the National Family Health Survey (NFHS) to measure multidimensional poverty across 640 districts.<\/span><\/p>\n

          Significance of MPI:<\/b><\/p>\n

            \n
          1. The MPI creates a vivid picture of people living in poverty within and across countries, regions and at a global level.<\/span><\/li>\n
          2. MPI is not limited to an income-based measure of poverty but complements income measures of poverty and captures the multiple, overlapping disadvantages of poor people.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            This is important because overlapping deprivations undermine people\u2019s capacity to develop human capital and entraps them into the vicious cycle of poverty.<\/span><\/p>\n

              \n
            1. MPI can be used to direct public resources to critical areas more efficiently. It can be used as a powerful tool to combat poverty and achieve sustainable development goals (SDGs)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
