Survey data on poverty and broad policy pointers

The Hindu  

Based on multidimensional poverty measurement, the Poverty Ratio in Tamil Nadu declined from 4.89% in 2015-16 to 1.57% in 2020-21, based on the fourth and fifth rounds of the National Family Health Survey data. But first, let us explore the poverty statistics derived from NFHS 5 data using the multidimensional poverty measurement suggested by NITI Aayog and its pointers for policy intervention. On the MPI NITI Aayog, armed with a fairly large sample survey data of NFHS 4, estimated the Multidimensional Poverty Index and published the baseline report in 2021. For instance, in Tamil Nadu, the NFHS data was collected in two time periods: 8,382 households in the pre-pandemic period and 19,547 households in the post-lockdown period, aggregating to 27,929 households for the State.
