Sustainable development goals are not being taken seriously. Anti-poverty schemes are not backed by funds or commitment

India is a signatory to the global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and is committed to achieving them. SDG1 aims to ?end poverty in all its forms everywhere? by 2030. It is true that poverty has declined in India. However, it is also true that an extremely large proportion of Indians suffers income poverty.

Additionally, lack of access to assets, vocational education and marketable skills combined with high levels of malnutrition and ill health lead to deprivation in multiple dimensions. The Tendulkar Committee estimated that 269.3 million Indians were poor in 2011-12 based on a poverty line of just ?27.2 per person per day in rural and ?33.3 per person per day in urban areas.

The Tendulkar Committee estimated that only 22 per cent of India?s population was in poverty in 2011-12. The Rangarajan Committee used higher poverty lines (?32.4 and ?46.9 per person per day for rural and urban areas, respectively) and arrived at a poverty ratio of 29.5 per cent (362.99 million) for 2011-12. Official estimates of poverty are not available after this year.
