• Though poverty has declined in India, but despite the progress, poverty reduction remains India's most compelling challenge.

• Wide disparities in poverty are visible between rural and urban areas and among different states.

• Certain Social and Economic groups are more vulnerable to poverty.

• Poverty reduction is expected to make better progress in the next ten to fifteen years.
