Question

Which state has become the first indian state to conduct a household survey exclusively to estimate the multidimensional poverty index (mpi) at the state and district levels?

Answer 1

Most countries around the world define poverty as the lack of money. However, the poor themselves consider their experience of poverty much more broadly. A person who is poor can suffer multiple disadvantages at the same time – for example they may have poor health or malnutrition, a lack of clean water or electricity, poor quality of work or little schooling. Focusing on one factor alone, such as income, is not enough to capture the true reality of poverty.
