KEY POINTS
· The World Bank $2-a-day (poverty line) might be inadequate but it would be a start and higher than the last line proposed by the C. Rangarajan committee.
· A survey in 2013 had said India stood at 99 among 131 countries, and with a median income of $616 per annum, it was the lowest among BRICS.
· The fall of India in the Global Hunger Index to serious hunger category , National Family Health Survey or NFHS-5, which had worrying markers of increased malnutrition, infant mortality and maternal health.
· In 2019, the global Multidimensional Poverty Index reported that India lifted 271 million citizens out of poverty between 2006 and 2016.
· World Bank data estimated that ‘the number of poor in India, on the basis of an income of $2 per day or less in purchasing power parity, has more than doubled to 134 million from 60 million in just a year due to the pandemic-induced recession.
· Knowing the numbers and making them public makes it possible to get public opinion to support massive and urgent cash transfers.
· All policies can be honestly evaluated on the basis of whether they meet the needs of the majority.
· The massive slide into poverty in India that is clear in domestic and international surveys and anecdotal evidence must meet with an institutional response.
