Good news you probably didn’t hear about – poverty reduction in India is the “most under-reported story of our time”

From our good friends at FUTURE CRUNCH who are determined to tell us stuff the media overlooks.

The decline of poverty in India is the most underreported story of our time.

Two weeks ago, the country’s biggest public policy think tank released a new report, and the numbers are mind-blowing. 135 million people were lifted out of multi-dimensional poverty between 2015-16 and 2019-2021, easily putting the world’s most populous nation (and fastest growing major economy) on course to achieve its SDG targets.
