New Delhi. No person living in this country should be a victim of poverty. During the last 9 years of its tenure, the Modi government has worked towards implementing this objective, the picture of which has also been presented by NITI Aayog in the form of figures today. Let us further tell you in detail about the data released by NITI Aayog. There has been a sharp decline in the poverty population ratio during the last 9 years.

Apart from this, a decline has also been recorded in poverty figures. NITI Aayog has covered multidimensional poverty not just on economic basis but also on health, education and current living standards. In all these areas, people whose current condition has improved have been kept out of the poverty line.
Now this question may come in your mind that what kind of magic did the Modi government do during its 9 years of tenure, due to which the wind of development is blowing among the people below the poverty line, then what is the reason behind it? To understand the reason, you have to understand the working style of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Let us tell you that during his tenure, PM Modi launched many such welfare schemes, which have had a direct impact on the general public, as a result of which today poverty is on the verge of being eliminated. There is no hesitation in saying that if this trend continues like this, the day is not far when poverty in India will become a thing of the past.
