Report: According to the latest report of American Think Tank Brookings, India has now officially eliminated 'extreme poverty', which can be seen through the sharp decline in headcount poverty ratio and stark increase in household consumption.
The report, authored by Surjit Bhalla and Karan Bhasin, states that this has been a result of the government's strong policy thrust on redistribution, which has led to strong inclusive growth in India over the last decade.
