Reduction In Poverty

A total of 415 million people were brought out of poverty in India within just 15 years from 2005/2006 to 2019/2021, the UN said on Tuesday, highlighting the "remarkable achievement" by the world's most populous nation.

Covid-19 has dealt the "biggest setback" to global poverty reduction efforts in decades, and the World Bank warned Wednesday that the goal to eradicate extreme poverty by 2030 likely remains out-of-reach.

About 273 million Indians moved out of multidimensional poverty between 2005-2006 and 2015-2016, according to a UN report, which noted that India has recorded the largest reduction in the number of people living in this category.

Poverty reduction is one of the most important challenges in the world as it includes addressing problems prevalent in the social, economic and political sections of the society.

Poverty reduction was fastest among children, the poorest states, scheduled tribes and Muslims in India where in an historic shift over 270 million people moved out of poverty in the decade since 2005-06, according to a new data.

Chief Economic Adviser Arvind Subramanian on Friday said India's steady growth has resulted in a consistent decline in poverty and improvement in several human development indices, including reduction in the infant mortality rate (IMR).

More than a billion people have been lifted out of extreme poverty since 1990 with China and India playing a central role in global poverty reduction, a major UN report has said.
