Every time when there’s a question arise regarding poverty, a cross answered suggesting and inferencing beggers responsible for reducing GDP and economic ratio of our country. The major problem in our country is that the essence of self greedy ness in person . example if government starts any scheme which provides any service to lower class of society on the basis of income and education. To enjoy the benefit of such service upper class person adjust by any mean to enjoy such benefit of scheme .such activity led to failure of government schemes for uplifting poverty. Uncertain lowering standard to enjoy government schemes also led to change in government data of poverty, which led to reducing rank in world forum like united nation.  

Four of the biggest schemes of Modi BJP government  1.0 directly addressed the standard of living. The Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojna distributed LPG gas connections to poor families. Ujjwala’s website shows that by now, more than 7.4 crore LPG gas connections have been given under this scheme. initially, the government had targeted to provide LPG cylinders to 5 crore families by 2019. Touted as a success, the scheme’s target was increased to 8 crore by 2020. The government had already distributed 6 crore LPG cylinders till December 2018.in uttar Pradesh 84 lakhs houses got electricity , 64 lakhs of them got free setup of electrity. 

 In current modi government regime they work on the local issues of public to raise them from poverty standards like sanitation , cooking methods , electricity etc.

In recent years, the definition of poverty has moved away from calorie-based measurements and monetary values to those that take basic needs into account. This has led to new measures of poverty beyond the ‘below poverty line’ or World Bank ‘dollar a day’ standard.One such measure, published in the Global Multidimensional Poverty report, which goes beyond consumption and expenditure of the household, is a Multidimensional Poverty measure. It includes three key variables — health, education and standard of living. The UN report is based on factors such as income, health, quality of work and threat of violence

The 2019 global multi-dimensional poverty index report by the United Nations states that 27.1 crore of the poor in India have come above the BPL index.

 According to the report, Jharkhand is among other states which have improved by leaps and bounds in poverty reduction.While the report shows growth among the poverty-stricken people, some right to food activists do not seem to be impressed by it. They said that Jharkhand still has to go a long way in addressing the issues of poor, public distribution system (PDS) and food guarantee.The government may not admit the ground realities, but deaths due to starvation have been reported time and again in Jharkhand from the beginning, activists said. However, Jharkhand's Minister of Food and Civil Supplies Saryu Roy refuted the argument. He said, "After 2016, it was clearly instructed that ration dispensation is mandatory, no matter if it is online or offline. The offline process just needs approval from BSO (Block Supply Officer).

Roy also said that the ration cards of only those members were cancelled who had two cards issued in their name. To avoid the issue of double ration cards, the government had made it mandatory to link ration cards with Aadhar number.

Jharkhand minister Saryu Roy said, "We have formed a food bank in every panchayat. They have been sent a standing imprest of Rs 10,000 to distribute among those who are unable to access ration from the dealers following technical reasons. The steps were taken with an aim to minimise the chances of starvation."

An advisor to the Supreme Court on the right to food, Balram, questioned the basis on which the poor have been identified and put in different categories. In the 2011 census report, 23.94 lakh poor were kept under PVTG (Particular Vulnerable Tribe Group) category. Everyone belonging to the PVTG was allotted red cards, indicating that they are eligible to get 35 kg of food grain every month.Around 11.44 lakh were identified as priority household (PHH). Prior to the National Food Security Act, 2013, these people were eligible for 35 kg of food grains every month, but after amendments in the provision, every individual is entitled to only 5 kg of food grains per month.Earlier, any household or family received 35 kg. But now, if there are only four members in a family, their ration will be curtailed by 15 kg.

The estimated population in India was estimated to be 1,296,834,042 in July 2019.

. estimated data of 2019 population shifts data of poverty constantly. But only shelter and fooding standard are not held to be benchmark for suggesting poverty rate. It must include educational , economical, and other living standards. Few years back bihar considered as the poor state , but it recovers. Now the states named seven sisters are suffering from cracked poverty index rate.#Lawinroutine fb page link
