Abstract
Poverty in India is a multidimensional phenomenon involving the deprivation of basic needs. According to the Sustainable Development Goals 2030 Agenda, the goal was to end poverty and zero hunger. However, poverty statistics also vary between states in India with some states having the lowest number of poverty and some states having the highest number of poverty. According to the Headcount Ratio 2022-23 MPI index report, population poverty was 24.85% in 2015-16 and 14.96% in 2019-21 across India (NITI Aayog, MPI Index, India, 2023). This study aims to understand the existence and state-wise variations of poverty in India. This study uses data collected from the Planning Commission of India's report, India's Headcount Ratio Intensity and MPI, NITI Aayog National Multidimensional Poverty Index 2023, and (NSSO) HCES: 2022-23 factsheet report on poverty statistics of various states and Union Territories of India and per capita monthly income of various states.
