Looking back 45 years or so, progress against poverty in India has been highly uneven over time and space. It took 20 years for the national poverty rate to fall below—and stay below—its value in the early 1950s. And trend rates of poverty reduction have differed appreciably between states. This research project aimed to understand what influence economy-wide and sectoral factors have played in the evolution of poverty measures for India since the 1950s, and to draw lessons for the future. This database contains detailed statistics on a wide range of topics in India. The data are presented at the state level and at the all-India level separately. The database uses published information to construct comprehensive series in six subject blocks. Period coverage is roughly from 1950 to 1994. The database contains 30 spreadsheets and 89 text files (ASCII) that are grouped into the six subject blocks. The formats and sizes of the 30 spreadsheets vary considerably. The list of variables included: . Expenditures (distribution) . National Accounts . Prices Wages . Population . Rainfall
In 2021, over 12 percent of India's population was living on less than 2.15 U.S. dollars per day. When the 3.65 U.S. dollars per day threshold is considered, the share increased to over 44 percent.

During 2019 to 2021, almost ** percent of the Indian population were reportedly multidimensionally poor. This reflected a much lower percentage of multidimensionally poor population in India. India has made significant progress in multidimensional poverty over the years. The share of multidimensional poor is expected to decline to around ** percent during 2022 to 2023.

Lakdawala Methodology: An older method to measure poverty in India based on minimum calorie intake (2,400 rural / 2,100 urban). It used a 30-day recall for all expenses but did not include health and education costs.
Tendulkar Methodology:A revised method that considers actual spending on food, health, education, etc. It uses a mixed recall period and provides a more realistic estimate of poverty.
Mixed Recall Period: Combines two recall periods: 30 days for regular items and 365 days for infrequent ones. This helps reduce errors and gives a better picture of total household spending.
30-Day Recall Period: Collects data based on what households spent in the last 30 days for all items. It may miss big or occasional expenses and can underestimate actual consumption.

BackgroundThough the concept of multidimensional poverty has been acknowledged cutting across the disciplines (among economists, public health professionals, development thinkers, social scientists, policy makers and international organizations) and included in the development agenda, its measurement and application are still limited. Objectives and MethodologyUsing unit data from the National Family and Health Survey 3, India, this paper measures poverty in multidimensional space and examine the linkages of multidimensional poverty with child survival. The multidimensional poverty is measured in the dimension of knowledge, health and wealth and the child survival is measured with respect to infant mortality and under-five mortality. Descriptive statistics, principal component analyses and the life table methods are used in the analyses. ResultsThe estimates of multidimensional poverty are robust and the inter-state differentials are large. While infant mortality rate and under-five mortality rate are disproportionately higher among the abject poor compared to the non-poor, there are no significant differences in child survival among educationally, economically and health poor at the national level. State pattern in child survival among the education, economical and health poor are mixed. ConclusionUse of multidimensional poverty measures help to identify abject poor who are unlikely to come out of poverty trap. The child survival is significantly lower among abject poor compared to moderate poor and non-poor. We urge to popularize the concept of multiple deprivations in research and program so as to reduce poverty and inequality in the population.
