It’s official! The number of people living below poverty line in India went down by 415 million between 2005-06 and 2019-21, says a new Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) released on Monday jointly by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI) at the University of Oxford. 

41.5 crore Indians out of below poverty line category

However, the index says that India still houses the world’s highest number of poor at 228.9 million, which is followed by Nigeria which has 96.7 million projected in 2020.

The developing region with the largest number of poor people is Sub-Saharan Africa (nearly 579 million), followed by South Asia (385 million), the report says.

Here comes a few points to elaborate on report…

* According to the report, India is the only country in South Asia where female-headed households are poorer than male-headed households.

  • Ninety per cent of India’s poor people live in rural areas & 10 per cent in urban areas.
  • Bihar continues to be the poorest state in the country. Others among the top 10 poorest states were Jharkhand, Meghalaya, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Assam, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Arunachal Pradesh and Rajasthan. 
  • West Bengal was the only state among the top-10 poorest in India in 2015-16, and not in 2019-21.
  • About 18.7 per cent of people in India were found to be vulnerable to poverty as their deprivation score ranges from 20 per cent to 33 per cent. A person with a deprivation score of 50 is considered to be poor.

In the recently released Global Hunger Index, India ranked 107th out of 121 countries, with worrying figures in child malnutrition and child stunting.

However, the report also commended India’s performance in lifting the poor out of poverty. In the last 15 years, it lifted over 41.5 crore people out of poverty.

Art is the only escape that provides human beings with a sense of serenity. We, as human beings, will always find peace in certain arts, and sometimes we try to finesse them. Similarly, sketching is a form of art that can surely provide someone with some sort of tranquillity.

Students like Vinay try their best to find themselves in the form of art. Vinay, like any other student, found cartoons interesting and developed his intellect for the art form. He became more obsessed with cartoons and sketches when he was in seventh grade. By 12th grade, he found more confidence in sketching and gave it a shot.

While being in the bachelor’s, the student found more comfort in sketching within the group. However, he only sketched those figures that were well-known.

Thus, when Vinay went to attend classes for his B.Ed, his artwork slowly got famous. His artwork was thriving, and people were seeking his art. Nonetheless, the artist found people who were willing to be drawn by him.

Later, many people approached Vinay for sketches, which helped him practice his techniques in sketching.

However, you will only find finesse when you learn more and more about your forte. Thus, Vinay tried to explore the sketching community. He found many YouTube channels which provided knowledge and sharpened his skills for sketching.

Likewise, with constant training and practice, Vinay understood some of the basic and important elements of sketching, which help an artist grow into a stronger version of themselves. He practises more and tries to give more attention to his skills.

As of now, it is his hobby which he wants to pursue…you never know if this passion becomes a profession, he adds.

Nobel Peace Laureate Kailash Satyarthi appealed to the nation to initiate collective action against child marriage to end the social evil. Following his appeal, the nationwide campaign was launched on Sunday with another Nobel Peace Laureate Leymah Gbowee at Navranpura village in Virat Nagar, Rajasthan at a large public meeting. As a part of the campaign, 70,000 women and girls led people in lighting lamps, torchlight procession in around 10,000 villages (6,015 villages by KSCF and rest by government’s and other agencies) from over 500 districts in 26 states.

Nobel Peace Laureate Kailash Satyarthi launches nationwide campaign for “Child Marriage Free India”

Around 20 million people participated in the launch of the campaign from across the country and pledged to end child marriage.

Government agencies including Railway Protection Force (RPF), Women and child development department of 14 states, state child protection authorities, state legal services authorities, anganwadis and district administration of several state governments joined in support of the nationwide campaign.

Census 2011 reported over 12 million child marriages in the country, the study by National Family Health Survey (NFHS V) also corroborates Census 2011 report. Out of 12 million child marriages, 5.2 million were girls. According to NFHS V, 23.3% of women between the age group of 20 to 24 are married before turning 18. These figures demonstrate the need for a nationwide campaign to uproot the social evil from the country. The campaign aims to reduce the number of child marriages by 10% from 23.3%.

Highlighting the plight of the child marriage survivors, Nobel Peace Laureate

Kailash Satyarthi said, “Child marriage is a violation of human rights and

dignity, which unfortunately still has social acceptance. This social evil propels

an unending list of crimes against children, especially against our daughters.

“A few weeks ago, I put out a call to make India child marriage free. This spark ignited the flames of 70,000 women changemakers, proof that millions of women have felt suffocated by this age old oppressive societal custom.

I support the Government of India’s proposal to increase the marriageable age of girls from 18 to 21. I call upon faith leaders to speak out and ensure that all those who perform weddings, even at the village level do not perpetuate this crime against children. I call on all the caterers, decorators, banquet hall owners, bands and others to not provide their services for these weddings and not indulge in this criminal act. For those of you who are stopping child marriage in your villages, you are not alone. I am with you. As your brother, I will protect and support you in every possible manner. I will not leave your side in this fight,” he added.

Liberian Nobel Peace Laureate Leymah Gbowee said, “Child marriage is an appalling practice that exists globally. We must put an end to this human rights violation. Our collective humanity demands this,” she added.
