In the next five years, the figure touched 415 million, underlining the fast pace India is carrying out its poverty eradication drive at.The positive results shown by the government of India's efforts have been appreciated by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank. The IMF said India’s extreme poverty remained below 1 percent even during the Covid-led pandemic when it had increased globally. Now, the percentage of extremely poor is expected to go below 3 percent in India by 2024, as per the World Poverty Clock. India tops the list of 25 countries that halved multidimensional poverty in 15 years, as per the latest Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) that is jointly prepared by the UN Development Programme (UNDP), the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI). “Notably, India saw a remarkable poverty reduction, with 415 million people exiting poverty within a span of just 15 years,” reads the report. “The poorest states and groups, including children and people in disadvantaged caste groups, had the fastest absolute progress.” Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) turned out to be a game-changer for India’s poverty alleviation efforts. The scheme, which gives a legal guarantee of 100 days of employment every year, is responsible for reducing poverty by a third. India needs to hold more vigorous drives to achieve the first of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals — to end all forms of poverty by 2030.The government of India undertook a slew of measures and implemented effective schemes to enhance the pace of poverty alleviation in the country. The constant upward economic growth of the county has had a positive impact on poverty eradication. However, India’s special emphasis on financial inclusion played a crucial role in lifting poor communities out of poverty. A scheme named ‘Jan Dhan Yojana’ has helped enrol 495.6 million people in the banking system, of which 330 million are from rural areas while 275 million are women. India needs to hold more vigorous drives to achieve the first of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals — to end all forms of poverty by 2030.
