Abstract
It cannot be denied that a lot has been done through many Government Schemes that aimed to reduce poverty either through employment creation or income generation. However, the benefits of the most of these schemes have accrued not only to the population Below Poverty Line (BPL) but to the Above Poverty Line (APL) as well. And the reasons for this have been numerous such as corruption, political favours and so on. Thus the magnitude of reduction of poverty through these Schemes has not been large. Since, the poverty measurement measures have so far been uni-dimensional. Therefore, the main aim was to provide the goods of basic necessities which at present will not suffice, if social inclusion is kept in mind. Poverty manifested itself in different forms in different time periods and it varied across different regions of the world. The methods and measure to define poor too varied across time and space. And now, it is widely agreed both in academia as well as in practice that poverty is multidimensional. Therefore, the main aim of the present paper therefore, shall be to highlight how a national multidimensional poverty index if formed can make a way forward for social inclusion and resource provision. Besides, the focus has been also been to bring out the perception of people about the poverty and ways of its removal.
