In this video, we explain the Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI), an important current affairs topic for UPSC, State PSC, and other competitive exams.

📌 Global Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI)
The Global MPI is released by:
United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)

Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI)

It measures poverty beyond income and focuses on multiple deprivations across three major dimensions:

Health

Education

Standard of Living

Key indicators include:

Nutrition

Child mortality

Years of schooling

School attendance

Access to drinking water

Sanitation

Electricity

Clean cooking fuel

Housing and assets

Each dimension carries equal weight, and the total weight is divided among its indicators.

📌 India’s National Multidimensional Poverty Index

India’s MPI is developed by NITI Aayog using the global MPI framework.

In addition to global indicators, India includes extra indicators such as:

Maternal health

Bank account ownership

This makes India’s MPI more context-specific and aligned with national development priorities.
