‘Poverty index used data of survey of 2015-16 when UDF was in power’
Congress leader and former Chief Minister Oommen Chandy has said the Left Democratic Front (LDF) Government had wrongly claimed credit for eradicating poverty in Kerala.
Mr. Chandy’s reaction came against the backdrop of the NITI Ayog’s report that 0.71& of Kerala’s population was multidimensionally poor.
The National Multidimensional Poverty Index (NMPI) had said Kerala registered a low count on almost all the parameters of deprivation concerning child and adolescent mortality (0.19%), maternal health (1.73%), years of schooling (1.78%), school attendance (0.3), and sanitation (1.1). The deprivation parameters regarding nutrition, cooking fuel, sanitation, drinking water, electricity, housing, assets and bank accounts also had the State scoring low.
