Important CTC. The most important news in my opinion is that the traditional lower income states are catching up. This is not the only big and positive change happening in India. Economists have to put the poverty numbers in context with the remarkable improvements in direct benefits transfer efficiency and the overall improvement in efficiency in many things like infrastructure, which improve productivity and ultimately incomes.
Shekhar, What do you think of reliability of our poverty data. I come from a bordering village in Kutch, Gujarat. Here everyone has bpl card and receive free ration every month but almost nobody would qualify as poor by those standards and same is the case with most parts in Gujarat at least. Now i know situation in states like bihar as you mentioned in much worse but still I think our poverty percentages are highly overestimated. All the welfare benefits incentives many people to identify as poor.
When you take free ration you are poor , when citizen go beyond ration and get their own quota only in retail (quality products) then we have progressed.
Pretty insightful CTC, thanks to Professor Guptaji and team. I think positive news is, we are on the right track and will eradicate poverty in next few decades.
16% of population on $1.90 in India that's almost 230 million people, and that's just talking about $1.90, if you say $5 per day it will be 50% of populatio which is 700 million more then any continent.
@@abseiduk But where is this $5 figure coming from? I think we can live a balanced life at $1.9 in rural areas, which might be a bit difficult in metropolitan cities. At $5/day we can live a really good life even in metropolitan cities. I am not saying that we do not require $5/day, but it is a different thing because we are just looking at the poverty line. I think we should look at these two things, bringing people out of poverty and increasing the earning capacity of individuals differently. We should aim to do well in both cases but we should also take a moment and appreciate and celebrate where we have done well.
@@draviaartistwithbat5756 No you can't, not with present day standards of health and life expectancy. At least $20 USD per day is needed to maintain a basic standard of life or you will see lack in I.q. intelligence, malnutrition, stunting, and all the other social, psychological and behavioral issues that comes with it which is so common in Indian population, needy, lacking in self worth, which leads to "billionaire worship, hate filled intolerance which leads to communal violence.
The speed at which we are bringing above poverty is still very slow. Corruption in politics and burecracy still remains the single largest reason. Delay in implementation of various projects is still very serious concern. Private sector is given so much barriers and ease of doing business is still very pathetic in many states..
Excellent Shekharji! Thanks. Also, who brings all out of poverty? All of us productive people. Not really "politicians". They need to simply play less politics. That is the lesson...
How can we justify identifying farmers as a poor, when 23cr Indians don't earn 150rupees. We give 6000 to farmers who own land worth lakhs and let poor children, as little as 3 years old, collect plastic waste for living.
Poverty and Urbanisation are undeniably linked as Shekhar says. That's why we need better connectivity in our cities. Mumbai needs to grow larger in geography to accomodate many more people since real estate prices make it unaffordable for many to move here. That's why we desperately need the Metro and that's why I really get triggered when I see Aditya Thackeray and his silver-spoon fed coterie standing outside Aarey to sabotage an essential infrastructure project in the city.
Mumbai needs to grow larger in geography is an extremely bad idea. There needs to more urban hotspots and not just mumbai. No land by nature is built sustainable enough to grow mumbai in healthy manner. Look at Nagpur etc. Upcoming hubs of economic growth. Building multiple baskets is better than putting all eggs in one basket. It ensures not all live in one state of mind and brings about diversity of thought and approaches and culture too.
You seem to be stuck in American cityscape of the 80s/90s. Mumbai is large enough you genius, if you expand any city, even Delhi, much larger, then we've seen the impact it has on natural resources, municipal services etc. We need more cities which also generate more employment than expanding existing cities. Smart city JUMLA of Modi was another trap we fell into.
You are so right. Mumbai will change dramatically once the ongoing connectivity projects are done in wo years, Navi Mumbai will be to the island Mumbai what Kowloon became to Hong Kong. But we need to build many moe cities. Andha dumping Amaravati is a tragedy …thanks fir writing in..shekhar
The analysis is very good , but, what I see on the ground is that, no one is eating the ration rice in Telangana and the PDS rice of Rs.1 per kg is availed by the card holders & selling the same to the retail shops at Rs.10 per kg and the so called poor ( card holders)buying fine rice at Rs.40 to 50 per kg for personal consumption. So poverty on the ground is very very rarely seen.
Regarding the Hunger Index report, the ministry of women and child development has blamed the NGO involved- of collecting a sample of merely around 6000 people to estimate "hunger", "nutrition" or whatever you call it, for 150 crore people in India. But here, Shekhar says that they used data from the same ministry. Now I'm pretty confused...
Amongst all the noise in the Hunger index debate, the most ignored is the elephant in the room- that is the difference between Rich but mainly Vegetarian countries(India) and Poorer and mainly Nonveg countries (Bangladesh/Pak) and whether there is any contribution due to it in they faring better than us.

I don;t think the report gives a yer-by-year data. If you take India’s example, NFHS data only comes once in a few years. That is what the UNDP report is based on…thanks for writing in, and happy Diwali…shekhar
Urban poverty and rural poverty are not the same. Urban poverty is much harsher. Also, making the big cities into further bigge rcities is not the answer, in my opinion. Smaller populations centers have to be smartly planned around employment opportunities in a "Gati Shakti' kind of synergy philosophy where spatially distributed production feeds larger hubs. The population centers will need to provide quality of life (connectivity, schools, parks, culture) so that everybody does not flock to the big cities. Ministry of housing and urban development have their work cut out.
SG is real gem and best journalist of india. Infact for me, best in the world. Most reliable source of getting news--- Print(SG), Hindustan Times, study IQ, IAS coaching, WION(when palki was involved), World affairs etc
Shekhar Sir, I reckon we are worse in terms of poverty reduction than the data that you displayed, as a person earning 150 rs is far worse if he doesn't have shelter, free healthcare, and free education. 150 rs alone can't pay the rent, food, health, education and sanitation even in the rural most areas.
Unfortunately, our commentariat (and the Congress party) still think of the poor as bhooke nange log and will jump at every opportunity/report that validates this belief. As India gets richer ($2,500 per capita today), the nature and definition of poverty changes. What was valid for a long time independence will no longer apply. Things are changing so rapidly that what was valid 10 years ago can be irrelevant today. Beyond a point, these reports are good for information but nothing beats gdp growth. The higher the better! Let's become a 10 trillion economy!
Facts hit hard . Majority of the poverty reduction made in the last 20 years was under upa . Fact is since 1991 also the major poverty reduction was under the upa/ congress. Iam not a congress supporter but this is a fact. Mms , narshima Rao really helped
It's a good CTC. 1. BIHAR seems to be doing well just because the Base was so low. As the time passed the effort had to be more. 2. Does this survey point out the effect of migration on Poverty of mother state & that of the adopted state? If any can you explain/ put some light how this migration is helping in shaping the local economy. 3. Can we say INTERNET, ENERGY WITH ROTI, KAPADA, MAKAN as basics?
Because the Migration is somehow linked to Abject poverty, very few opportunities. So it’s possible Indian economy boomed from 1998/99 onwards & Bihar had mass migration. They sent money back home. That helped people live better.
@@ThePrintIndia In Telangana even software engineers who earn 10 to 15 Lakh per year also have BPL cards. All my friends who earn around 15Lakh per year have BPL cards, not for the food ration but they hold this BPL cards just incase they might miss some benifits from state governments scheems
Misleading the public as always. Global Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) 2022 stated this: - India has by far the largest number of poor people worldwide at 22.8 crore, followed by Nigeria at 9.6 crore. - Two-thirds of these people live in a household in which at least one person is deprived of nutrition.
Both have done average job and these parties are celebrating mediocrity. MMS did a great job from 2004 to 2011 (better economic planning and happier India), then Gandhi Parivaar started to stab him in back with corruption schemes. Thanks Gandy Parivaar. Modi had the better shot, as he got a good base in 2014 and economy grew by more than 8 percent in first two years of Modi 1.0. Unfortunately, demonetization punctured our growth prowl. Thanks Modi and RSS Parivaar.
Yes, it’s a very easy to read report and lemme quote a few inconvenient points that Mr. Gupta “forgot” to mention: Human Development Index: World average 0.75. India same as 2014 at 0.6. Bangladesh better at 0.63. Gender Development Index: world average 0.95. India 0.85 (same as 2014). Bangladesh 0.9
What's inconvenient about it? Literally every nation except Bangladesh collapsed last year in HDI. Indian will jump back in a year along with the world. Bangladesh will stay constant.
It's about providing a cushion for rural economy and avoiding inflation. India smartly leveraged it's public infra for targeted help rather than pumping money like western countries.

We have to appreciate the works of congress, at that time we used to think that this govt is good for nothing, but now when we compare that govt with today's which has a clear majority, the difference is not much. As they say BJP is congress with a cow.
Actually, the bjp has helped a national resurgence in our understanding of the true meaning of poverty reduction. ALL of Modiji programmes are directed towards reducing poverty
What about infrastructure development during congress rule? And our border was not secured because of lack of connectivity then. Now, current government focused on these aspects. IMF is praising for sustained growth and our fundamentals of economy seem to be good. Whole geo-politics are also in our favour. Yeah, COVID and Russia-Ukrain conflict have created some trouble. But I believe that we as a nation sail through these dark hours also.
To be honest i think most of these indices are a bureaucratic exercise of limited utility. What matters in the end is economic growth, if the economy grows faster you will lower poverty faster. While some people think nutrition is the most important thing, i am not so sure. For me poverty is about median income and extreme poverty is about population below tendulkar line {or some other chosen poverty line}. Once people have the money, they can choose if they want to spend it on green veggies or rice or sugary confectionary.
not really, many economists have found no correlation between economic growth and reduction in poverty. In other words, trickle-down economics doesn't work. You can have the biggest economy in the world and still have large populations living in poverty. Take the USA for example it is the wealthiest country in the world, however, it has the most people living below the poverty line in the developed world. The only thing that reduces poverty is progressive social policies, you need a tax system that works for the 99% and not the 1%, and you need public ownership of certain assets such as energy and natural resources, transportation, healthcare and education.
@@socialistsolidarity Sorry you are misinformed. The taxation system in United States is actually quite progressive despite what one reads in popular press. Most of the revenues both state and federal come from top earners. In Europe they end up taxing average/slightly above avg income earners more, because over all europe is relatively poorer. The issue of services provided is distinct from progressiveness of taxes. The reason poverty seems high in US is due to things like poor design of health care ; very high levels of drug use and criminality; poorly designed legal system etc. As an aside, healthcare is not really 'public' in Germany, yet they have designed a perfectly fine insurance system that is far cheaper. In the end, my point is simply that getting rich is the best way out of poverty for any country. I don't even disagree with you as much as you might think. Once you cross $10-12k percapita gdp, you can decide what amount of public ownership suits that particular society. Nothing kills a growing economy faster than pre-mature over taxation and attempts at redistribution at the cost of fiscal prudence, latin american countries have proven that more than once last century.

Dear Shekhar ji, Thank you for the excellent coverage. Unfortunately, I'm not in complete alignment with the poverty definition of $1.9/day which remained unchanged between 2005-2006 and 2019-2020. A quick Google search reveals that $1.9/day in 2020 was around $1.43/day in 2005. The USD/INR exchange rates were around Rs 44 (in 2005) and Rs 76 (in 2020). By this logic we are comparing a per day income of around Rs 63 in 2005 to Rs 150 per day in 2020. From a purchasing power parity standpoint, something that costed Re 1 in 2005, would cost Rs 3 in 2020, so we should be looking at a comparable figure of (Rs 63X3) = Rs 189 as a benchmark for poverty. Without this normalization for inflation and PPP, the statement that we have reduced poverty by 40 %-point is not a sound argument. It will be great to get your thoughts on this.
Good episode Shekhar ji.Just a small correction ,anybody who fall below 66% is considered as poor and below 50% is considered as living in extreme multidimensional poverty.This data is of 16.4% is normal poverty i.e. score below 66%
Regarding poverty % has came down is a very very good news. We may have been in a more good place if the corruption is less. Actually people should do their job with honesty. I am still waiting for that great moment . Now I'm 60.

Show the data from 2004 to 2013 year by year the compare those figures with 2014 to 2022 also year by year. So people will know the real situation now. Don’t try to be mouse speaker of BJP media cell.
You have conveniently forgotten 2 years of covid crisis in Modi’s second term. Further, almost one year secular parties (family based and left) and their supporters in journalism, media, lawyers, NGOs judiciary propped up anarchy around Delhi in the name of CAA and Farm bills.
Malnutrition, anemia, low body mass index etc. can be tackled by feeding locally cultivated vegetables, milk & milk products, jaggery etc. And avoiding processed, adulterated or contaminated food like white sugar, polished rice, maida etc.. This will prevent the prevalence of obesity also.
Shutup you stupid. We the people of Telangana will never accept that. We were treated as dogs in Madras state. Tamil people did not let Telugu people get into higher postions in jobs. Even today if you go to Tamilnadu they will treat Telugu people as second grade citizens.
Let's not bother about political reactions on various reports. Quality time wasted on them could have been used to explain and declutter methodology used and why Tendulkar poverty line is not comprehensive? Also on indices like this, shouldn't we also consider affordability of services? Some level of poverty might not be low at all if we also juxtapose it with affordability factor
The level of ignorance in media houses regarding wasting/stunting including this one is breathtaking. When will they realise that wasting/stunting is due to calorie/protein deficiency or MACRONUTRIENT deficiency and not due to micronutrient deficiency. Insisting that this is not a hunger problem but a 'nutrition' problem and insisting that micronutrients somehow matter more now as the macronutrient part is adequate now as per their 'analysis' is either willful ignorance or a gross mistake. Wasting/stunting doesnot usually come if calories and protein intake are adequate. Ofcourse there can be anaemia and other deficiencies in such a child still. They harp on and on about nutrition(insisting not hunger is responsible)and don't know the basic definitions and causes of the terms wasting and stunting. WHO clearly defines malnutrition and undernutrition(a subset of it). "Malnutrition, in all its forms, includes undernutrition (wasting, stunting, underweight), inadequate vitamins or minerals, overweight, obesity, and resulting diet-related noncommunicable diseases." Inadequate vitamins and minerals(micronutrients) are separate from undernutrition. Obviously the undernutrition also causes micronutrients deficiency because of overall less food intake but that is not the cause of wasting/stunting but Macronutrient deficiency is. If any child was just micronutrient deficient and not Macronutrient deficient he CANNOT be Wasted/stunted(unless in rare disorders/disease infection/genetic/metabolic or otherwise).
Once the base get bigger, the percentage to increase is that difficult. Not the other way round Shekharji. So 8% or so in past will get lesser but if we are doing 11% now then it is excellent progress.
I think people should be honest about poverty in India. It's not just that most of the poor in India come from bimaroo states but this happens because those people mostly comprises of sc, st's and other marginalized communities. A majority of these states have secluded pockets in their villages where these people are socially enclosed and naturally the amenities are appalling in these pockets. Today, If still there are villages in India that don't have basic amenities then I can bet that the majority population of that people are from marginalized communities. So, poverty right now is lesser a government issue right now than the social implications of the same.
Sir,(choti muh badi baat kar raha hoon), Bihar bimaru nai hai, but totally corrupt hai, especially liquor ban has given rise to the usual problems(as was in Us and Maharastra) because even the law and order is working to make more money from bribes. As putting a wrong does give them nothing(salary to waise bhi milega na).
Mr Gupta, just a suggestion: please also analyze the data of the scheme 'Anganbadi' or send the reporter on ground to see it's importance, current relevance, or even talk to few Anganbadi workers to know the ground reality.
I want to feel better about so many people coming out of poverty but the definition of poverty line is 1.9 dollars!!! is it really something to be proud about?
This is quite sad but, Im happy that in 10 years, the poverty rate in Bihar has come down by nearly 43%... I thought that state was hopeless. I was more optimistic about UP tbh
I can understand the congress-bjp political standoffs and debates. What i can't understand is the Marxist's and Islamist's humiliation of India in the name of attacking BJP. I have seen the same consistently from these two sides. They're always selecting convenient datas and incidents and proclaiming to the world that minorities are always attacked in India, minorities can't live India, nobody has any freedom in India, there's going to be a genocide in India, etc etc.. And i just cannot understand their mindset. I can understand people like rana ayyub, who in their privileged position, resting in their ac rooms, humiliating India because she does not live here anymore.
SG is wrong in saying that this data considers the $1.90 poverty line. This is MDI Poverty Index. It considers multi dimensional deprivation, not monetary expenditure. The $1.90 line is of the World Bank. According to that less than 5% Indians were below that line by 2018. Even the World Bank has increased the level to $2.15. According to that 8.4% Indians were BPL in 2019. According to the current index 16.4% are BPL.
Along the lines of Hunger Index Report , ( Nutrition category index from UN report ) the UN Secretary General is in the town ; After completion of all formalities , He is offered a Grand Buffet consisting of Continental , cultural , traditional, choicy food stuffs varieties and world class liquors ; We trust , India is 100 plus in ranking of Hunger Index ; Indians also give credit where it is due ; For Secretary General, Grand reception ; For the report , Street Fights ; Chak de India !!!!!!

Poverty and Urbanisation are undeniably linked as Shekhar says. That's why we need better connectivity in our cities. Mumbai needs to grow larger in geography to accomodate many more people since real estate prices make it unaffordable for many to move here.
That's why we desperately need the Metro and that's why I really get triggered when I see Aditya Thackeray and his silver-spoon fed coterie standing outside Aarey to sabotage an essential infrastructure project in the city.
Mumbai needs to grow larger in geography is an extremely bad idea. There needs to more urban hotspots and not just mumbai. No land by nature is built sustainable enough to grow mumbai in healthy manner. Look at Nagpur etc. Upcoming hubs of economic growth. Building multiple baskets is better than putting all eggs in one basket. It ensures not all live in one state of mind and brings about diversity of thought and approaches and culture too.
@@yuvra649 That's why the bullet train ;)
We don't need to expand the geography of mumbai to accomodate more people. We need to make tens of more cities especially in North India.
You seem to be stuck in American cityscape of the 80s/90s.
Mumbai is large enough you genius, if you expand any city, even Delhi, much larger, then we've seen the impact it has on natural resources, municipal services etc.
We need more cities which also generate more employment than expanding existing cities.
Smart city JUMLA of Modi was another trap we fell into.
You are so right. Mumbai will change dramatically once the ongoing connectivity projects are done in wo years, Navi Mumbai will be to the island Mumbai what Kowloon became to Hong Kong. But we need to build many moe cities. Andha dumping Amaravati is a tragedy …thanks fir writing in..shekhar
Is 1.9$/ day taking inflation into account? Curious.
No
The analysis is very good , but, what I see on the ground is that, no one is eating the ration rice in Telangana and the PDS rice of Rs.1 per kg is availed by the card holders & selling the same to the retail shops at Rs.10 per kg and the so called poor ( card holders)buying fine rice at Rs.40 to 50 per kg for personal consumption. So poverty on the ground is very very rarely seen.
So sujana gavirneni Knows more about poverty than PhD economists. Nice 👍
This is great news! That too after a long time. India's Human Development index is also quite low. I hope government keeps sincerely pushing.
Congress is history now , no comparison, talk about future , BJP against AAP who will do better
Regarding the Hunger Index report, the ministry of women and child development has blamed the NGO involved- of collecting a sample of merely around 6000 people to estimate "hunger", "nutrition" or whatever you call it, for 150 crore people in India. But here, Shekhar says that they used data from the same ministry. Now I'm pretty confused...
And Shekhar sir is back with meritorious analysis of the report ……🙏🏻
Too late today boss… had to delay my sleep schedule for this..
Amongst all the noise in the Hunger index debate, the most ignored is the elephant in the room- that is the difference between Rich but mainly Vegetarian countries(India) and Poorer and mainly Nonveg countries (Bangladesh/Pak) and whether there is any contribution due to it in they faring better than us.

Urban poverty and rural poverty are not the same. Urban poverty is much harsher. Also, making the big cities into further bigge rcities is not the answer, in my opinion. Smaller populations centers have to be smartly planned around employment opportunities in a "Gati Shakti' kind of synergy philosophy where spatially distributed production feeds larger hubs. The population centers will need to provide quality of life (connectivity, schools, parks, culture) so that everybody does not flock to the big cities. Ministry of housing and urban development have their work cut out.
SG is real gem and best journalist of india. Infact for me, best in the world.
Most reliable source of getting news---

Shekhar Sir, I reckon we are worse in terms of poverty reduction than the data that you displayed, as a person earning 150 rs is far worse if he doesn't have shelter, free healthcare, and free education. 150 rs alone can't pay the rent, food, health, education and sanitation even in the rural most areas.
150 rs is cooked up to show poverty has reduced
Unfortunately, our commentariat (and the Congress party) still think of the poor as bhooke nange log and will jump at every opportunity/report that validates this belief.
As India gets richer ($2,500 per capita today), the nature and definition of poverty changes. What was valid for a long time independence will no longer apply. Things are changing so rapidly that what was valid 10 years ago can be irrelevant today.
Beyond a point, these reports are good for information but nothing beats gdp growth. The higher the better! Let's become a 10 trillion economy!
Facts hit hard . Majority of the poverty reduction made in the last 20 years was under upa . Fact is since 1991 also the major poverty reduction was under the upa/ congress. Iam not a congress supporter but this is a fact. Mms , narshima Rao really helped
It's a good CTC. 1. BIHAR seems to be doing well just because the Base was so low. As the time passed the effort had to be more. 2. Does this survey point out the effect of migration on Poverty of mother state & that of the adopted state? If any can you explain/ put some light how this migration is helping in shaping the local economy. 3. Can we say INTERNET, ENERGY WITH ROTI, KAPADA, MAKAN as basics?
Well, that’s a very important point. I shall look for data to make a case there. Thanks for writing in..shekhar
Because the Migration is somehow linked to Abject poverty, very few opportunities. So it’s possible Indian economy boomed from 1998/99 onwards & Bihar had mass migration. They sent money back home. That helped people live better.
@@ThePrintIndia In Telangana even software engineers who earn 10 to 15 Lakh per year also have BPL cards. All my friends who earn around 15Lakh per year have BPL cards, not for the food ration but they hold this BPL cards just incase they might miss some benifits from state governments scheems
Misleading the public as always.
Global Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) 2022 stated this:
- India has by far the largest number of poor people worldwide at 22.8 crore, followed by Nigeria at 9.6 crore.
- Two-thirds of these people live in a household in which at least one person is deprived of nutrition.
But is the 1 dollar 90 cent adjusted for inflation of the last 15yrs?
Well actually no
Both have done average job and these parties are celebrating mediocrity.
MMS did a great job from 2004 to 2011 (better economic planning and happier India), then Gandhi Parivaar started to stab him in back with corruption schemes.
Thanks Gandy Parivaar.
Modi had the better shot, as he got a good base in 2014 and economy grew by more than 8 percent in first two years of Modi 1.0.
Unfortunately, demonetization punctured our growth prowl.
Thanks Modi and RSS Parivaar.
A good ,balanced, patriotic view. May God bless you,Shekharji.
Yes, it’s a very easy to read report and lemme quote a few inconvenient points that Mr. Gupta “forgot” to mention:
Human Development Index: World average 0.75. India same as 2014 at 0.6. Bangladesh better at 0.63.
Gender Development Index: world average 0.95. India 0.85 (same as 2014). Bangladesh 0.9
That proves there's flaw in HDI. This report shows a clear 40% improvement in poverty. If HDI could not capture it , look at the mirror
What's inconvenient about it?
Literally every nation except Bangladesh collapsed last year in HDI.
Indian will jump back in a year along with the world. Bangladesh will stay constant.
India's HDI is 0.645
Are the 81 crore Labbhartis who gets charity of 5 kg grains not poor? If not, then what is the justification for giving it?

Keep it up !
We have to appreciate the works of congress, at that time we used to think that this govt is good for nothing, but now when we compare that govt with today's which has a clear majority, the difference is not much.
As they say BJP is congress with a cow.
Actually, the bjp has helped a national resurgence in our understanding of the true meaning of poverty reduction. ALL of Modiji programmes are directed towards reducing poverty
What about infrastructure development during congress rule? And our border was not secured because of lack of connectivity then. Now, current government focused on these aspects.
IMF is praising for sustained growth and our fundamentals of economy seem to be good. Whole geo-politics are also in our favour. Yeah, COVID and Russia-Ukrain conflict have created some trouble. But I believe that we as a nation sail through these dark hours also.
Most reasonable media in India 🇮🇳
To be honest i think most of these indices are a bureaucratic exercise of limited utility. What matters in the end is economic growth, if the economy grows faster you will lower poverty faster. While some people think nutrition is the most important thing, i am not so sure. For me poverty is about median income and extreme poverty is about population below tendulkar line {or some other chosen poverty line}. Once people have the money, they can choose if they want to spend it on green veggies or rice or sugary confectionary.
not really, many economists have found no correlation between economic growth and reduction in poverty. In other words, trickle-down economics doesn't work. You can have the biggest economy in the world and still have large populations living in poverty. Take the USA for example it is the wealthiest country in the world, however, it has the most people living below the poverty line in the developed world. The only thing that reduces poverty is progressive social policies, you need a tax system that works for the 99% and not the 1%, and you need public ownership of certain assets such as energy and natural resources, transportation, healthcare and education.
@@socialistsolidarity Sorry you are misinformed. The taxation system in United States is actually quite progressive despite what one reads in popular press. Most of the revenues both state and federal come from top earners. In Europe they end up taxing average/slightly above avg income earners more, because over all europe is relatively poorer. The issue of services provided is distinct from progressiveness of taxes.
The reason poverty seems high in US is due to things like poor design of health care ; very high levels of drug use and criminality; poorly designed legal system etc. As an aside, healthcare is not really 'public' in Germany, yet they have designed a perfectly fine insurance system that is far cheaper.
In the end, my point is simply that getting rich is the best way out of poverty for any country. I don't even disagree with you as much as you might think. Once you cross $10-12k percapita gdp, you can decide what amount of public ownership suits that particular society. Nothing kills a growing economy faster than pre-mature over taxation and attempts at redistribution at the cost of fiscal prudence, latin american countries have proven that more than once last century.
GDP is not perfectly correlational to poverty and quality of life. Growth in GDP will matter if inequality remains same and results in jobful growth.

Dear Shekhar ji, Thank you for the excellent coverage. Unfortunately, I'm not in complete alignment with the poverty definition of $1.9/day which remained unchanged between 2005-2006 and 2019-2020. A quick Google search reveals that $1.9/day in 2020 was around $1.43/day in 2005. The USD/INR exchange rates were around Rs 44 (in 2005) and Rs 76 (in 2020). By this logic we are comparing a per day income of around Rs 63 in 2005 to Rs 150 per day in 2020. From a purchasing power parity standpoint, something that costed Re 1 in 2005, would cost Rs 3 in 2020, so we should be looking at a comparable figure of (Rs 63X3) = Rs 189 as a benchmark for poverty. Without this normalization for inflation and PPP, the statement that we have reduced poverty by 40 %-point is not a sound argument. It will be great to get your thoughts on this.
Good episode Shekhar ji.Just a small correction ,anybody who fall below 66% is considered as poor and below 50% is considered as living in extreme multidimensional poverty.This data is of 16.4% is normal poverty i.e. score below 66%
Regarding poverty % has came down is a very very good news. We may have been in a more good place if the corruption is less. Actually people should do their job with honesty. I am still waiting for that great moment . Now I'm 60.

You have conveniently forgotten 2 years of covid crisis in Modi’s second term. Further, almost one year secular parties (family based and left) and their supporters in journalism, media, lawyers, NGOs judiciary propped up anarchy around Delhi in the name of CAA and Farm bills.
Malnutrition, anemia, low body mass index etc. can be tackled by feeding locally cultivated vegetables, milk & milk products, jaggery etc. And avoiding processed, adulterated or contaminated food like white sugar, polished rice, maida etc.. This will prevent the prevalence of obesity also.

Let's not bother about political reactions on various reports. Quality time wasted on them could have been used to explain and declutter methodology used and why Tendulkar poverty line is not comprehensive?
Also on indices like this, shouldn't we also consider affordability of services? Some level of poverty might not be low at all if we also juxtapose it with affordability factor
How the hell a family making $1.90 a day is above poverty??
The definition of poverty needs to change to $ 3.80
We haven't included inflation rate into it, if it was $1 in 2005 then it should be $2.5 now....
The level of ignorance in media houses regarding wasting/stunting including this one is breathtaking. When will they realise that wasting/stunting is due to calorie/protein deficiency or MACRONUTRIENT deficiency and not due to micronutrient deficiency. Insisting that this is not a hunger problem but a 'nutrition' problem and insisting that micronutrients somehow matter more now as the macronutrient part is adequate now as per their 'analysis' is either willful ignorance or a gross mistake. Wasting/stunting doesnot usually come if calories and protein intake are adequate. Ofcourse there can be anaemia and other deficiencies in such a child still.
They harp on and on about nutrition(insisting not hunger is responsible)and don't know the basic definitions and causes of the terms wasting and stunting. WHO clearly defines malnutrition and undernutrition(a subset of it). "Malnutrition, in all its forms, includes undernutrition (wasting, stunting, underweight), inadequate vitamins or minerals, overweight, obesity, and resulting diet-related noncommunicable diseases." Inadequate vitamins and minerals(micronutrients) are separate from undernutrition. Obviously the undernutrition also causes micronutrients deficiency because of overall less food intake but that is not the cause of wasting/stunting but Macronutrient deficiency is. If any child was just micronutrient deficient and not Macronutrient deficient he CANNOT be Wasted/stunted(unless in rare disorders/disease infection/genetic/metabolic or otherwise).
Once the base get bigger, the percentage to increase is that difficult. Not the other way round Shekharji. So 8% or so in past will get lesser but if we are doing 11% now then it is excellent progress.
I think people should be honest about poverty in India. It's not just that most of the poor in India come from bimaroo states but this happens because those people mostly comprises of sc, st's and other marginalized communities. A majority of these states have secluded pockets in their villages where these people are socially enclosed and naturally the amenities are appalling in these pockets. Today, If still there are villages in India that don't have basic amenities then I can bet that the majority population of that people are from marginalized communities. So, poverty right now is lesser a government issue right now than the social implications of the same.
Sir,(choti muh badi baat kar raha hoon), Bihar bimaru nai hai, but totally corrupt hai, especially liquor ban has given rise to the usual problems(as was in Us and Maharastra) because even the law and order is working to make more money from bribes. As putting a wrong does give them nothing(salary to waise bhi milega na).
Mr Gupta, just a suggestion: please also analyze the data of the scheme 'Anganbadi' or send the reporter on ground to see it's importance, current relevance, or even talk to few Anganbadi workers to know the ground reality.

And i just cannot understand their mindset. I can understand people like rana ayyub, who in their privileged position, resting in their ac rooms, humiliating India because she does not live here anymore.
SG is wrong in saying that this data considers the $1.90 poverty line. This is MDI Poverty Index. It considers multi dimensional deprivation, not monetary expenditure. The $1.90 line is of the World Bank. According to that less than 5% Indians were below that line by 2018. Even the World Bank has increased the level to $2.15. According to that 8.4% Indians were BPL in 2019. According to the current index 16.4% are BPL.
If this is true then the hunger one is wrong , and if the hunger one was true then this has to be wrong, Guptaji what is true ?
