KEY POINTS
· The recent release of the NFHS data for 2019-21 allows for a detailed analysis of the progress in the reduction of absolute poverty and related determinants like nutrition.
· Poverty did decline between 2011-12 and 2017-18 or 2019-20 (recall that the 2017-18 unpublished NSS survey of consumption expenditures had indicated an 8 per cent decline in rural consumption and a corresponding increase in extreme poverty).
· Multidimensional poverty declined at a compounded annual average rate of 4.8 per cent per year in P-1 and more than double that pace at 10.3 per cent a year during P-2.
· There are some issues with the 2011 child-mortality data, but for each of the 10 components of the MPI index, the rate of decline in P-2 is considerably faster than in P-1.
· A major factor behind the inclusive nature of growth during P-2 is the focus of government policies on each of the individual indicators indicative of a dignified standard of living.
· It was only after a dedicated push (Saubhagya Yojana) that India managed to electrify every village, and eventually households.
· India makes public all of its data. In contrast, unit-level poverty data on China is not even made available to the World Bank, a body authorised to publish country-level estimates of poverty.
