<h1>NITI Aayog to Use Global Poverty Index for Reforms, Monitor India's Performance on 29 Global Indices.</h1> NITI Aayog has been tasked with leveraging the Global Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) to drive reforms in India, as part of monitoring the country's performance on 29 global indices. The MPI, developed by OPHI and UNDP, measures poverty across 107 countries using 10 parameters. India's MPI score in 2020 was 0.123, ranking 62nd. The latest National Family Health Survey, paused due to COVID-19, is expected to show improvements in areas like sanitation and electricity. NITI Aayog has formed a Multidimensional Poverty Index Coordination Committee to oversee this initiative, involving various ministries and technical experts.
