According to the NITI Aayog's "National Multidimensional Poverty Index: A Progress review 2023," a key 7.3 percent of the population here had exited multidimensional poverty between 2015–16 and 2019–21, providing a significant boost to the State's efforts towards equitable development. According to the research, the proportion of Telangana's total population living in multidimensional poverty has decreased from 13.18% in 2015–16 to 5.88% in 2019–21.
Telangana has managed to maintain a multidimensional poverty index (MPI) that is significantly lower than the national average because to the State government's efforts to ensure the welfare and development of all sections, both in urban and rural areas, by giving top importance to health, nutrition, education, sanitation, and other sectors. In 2015–16, the national average was 24.85 percent; today it is 14.96 percent.

Telangana has performed far better than States that are also governed by the BJP. For instance, the percentages for Uttar Pradesh (22.93%), madhya pradesh (20.63%), gujarat (11.66%), and karnataka (7.58%) are all above average. The highest proportion in the nation is 33.67 in Bihar. Indicators like as maternal health, nutrition, child and adolescent mortality, school attendance, cooking fuel, sanitation, drinking water, and others are used to determine a state's MPI. The percentages of each of these factors' contributions to the final score of 100 are determined.

One of the main objectives of the Agenda for Sustainable Development is to abolish poverty by 2030. The National MPI from india is a pioneering index that measures numerous and concurrent deprivations at the household level across the three major macrodimensions of health, education, and living standards. Accordingly, BVR Subrahmanyam, CEO of the National Institution for Transforming india, stated in the report that this index accurately assesses both national and sub-national performance to support policy responses.
