India's Poverty Decline Noted by World Bank Amid Ongoing Economic Challenges
India has significantly reduced extreme poverty, with the World Bank reporting a drop from 27.1% in 2011 to 2.6% in 2023, lifting nearly 496 million people above the poverty line. Despite this progress, challenges remain, including persistent regional poverty clusters, limited access to quality education, healthcare, and housing, and the need for more productive non-farm employment. Experts suggest revising poverty benchmarks to reflect India's middle-income status and emphasize sustained economic security beyond mere poverty reduction.
