NO POVERTY SDG INDIA(2019-20)

In poverty reduction was as much due to faster growth of per capita income as it was due to several policies implemented
during this period. Notable among them were the NREGA, Forest Rights Act, Right to Education, National Health
Mission and the expansion in food programmes, which shifted the discourse from poverty alleviation to capability issues
through a rights-based approach.

POVERTY RATE

As per the Tendulkar Committee estimates in 2011-12, 21.92 per cent of the Indian population lives below the poverty
line. Six states and six UTs have already achieved the national target of reducing the poverty rates to below 10.95 per cent
by 2030. Goa among the States and Andaman & Nicobar Islands

INDIAN APPROACH

a. Extreme and Multidimensional Poverty:- As a result of consistent endeavors’, extreme poverty, as measured by
the World Bank's International Poverty line.
b. Social Protection and Safety Nets:- Rural workers are protected against unemployment to the extent of at least
100 days of wage employment per household in a year under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment
Guarantee Act (MGNREGA).
c. Access to Basic Services:- Access to a range of financial services including banking, credit, insurance, and
pension of vulnerable communities are provided under the Pradhan Mantri Jan-Dhan Yojana (PMJDY)
d. Building Resilience:- As mandated under the Disaster Management Act 2005, the National Policy on Disaster
Management (2009) is in place, which calls for proactive prevention.

CHALLENGES

a. Implementation Dare: There is need for greater coordination among the Centrally Sponsored/ Central Sector
schemes, the State government schemes, and the local development initiatives of the Panchayati Raj Institutions
and Urban Local Bodies.
b. Regional Difference: Much of India's poverty is concentrated in rural areas and in low-income States. The
difference among the States/ UTs in terms of the proportion of people living below the poverty line is stark.
c. Rapid Urbanization: While bringing a range of economic benefits, rapid urbanization has brought with it
enormous challenges, most noticeably in the form of demand-supply gaps in housing, infrastructure, employment
and other economic opportunities and services
