Measuring poverty purely by income is like assessing a student's health using only their weight; the Multidimensional Poverty Index is like a comprehensive health check-up that tests eyesight, nutrition, blood pressure, and fitness simultaneously to give a complete picture of well-being.
NITI-MPI Dimensions = HES (Health, Education, Standard of living)
MPI=H├ЧA тАФ Global/National MPI formula, where H is the headcount ratio (percentage of poor people) and A is the average intensity of poverty among the poor.
The Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) measures acute poverty by evaluating non-monetary deprivations across three equally weighted dimensions: Health, Education, and Standard of Living. Each dimension is represented by specific indicators (12 indicators in India's National MPI), and a household is considered multidimensionally poor if its deprivation score exceeds 33.33%.
The report was constructed using data from National Family Health Surveys (NFHS-3: 2005-06, NFHS-4: 2015-16, and NFHS-5: 2019-21).
Uttar Pradesh registered the largest decline in the number of poor, followed by Bihar and Madhya Pradesh.
India's National MPI adopts the globally accepted Alkire-Foster (AF) methodology, adapted with 12 indicators instead of the global 10.
Captures multiple overlapping deprivations that income-based measures miss.
Helps policymakers target specific areas (such as nutrition, sanitation, or schooling) directly.
Relies heavily on survey data (NFHS) which is collected periodically rather than dynamically.
Does not measure intra-household inequalities in resource distribution.
Formulating targeted welfare schemes such as PM Poshan, Jal Jeevan Mission, and PM Awas Yojana.
Monitoring Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Target 1.2, which aims to reduce poverty in all its dimensions by at least half by 2030.
NITI Aayog acts as the nodal agency for the National Multidimensional Poverty Index in India.
