According to the global multidimensional poverty index (MPI), which was released by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI) at the University of Oxford, 25 countries, including India, managed to successfully halve their global MPI values within 15 years, thus proving that rapid progress is attainable.
“India saw a remarkable reduction in poverty, with 415 million people exiting poverty within a span of just 15 years (2005/6–19/21),” the report said.
