Abstract

The Multidimensional Poverty Index aims to evaluate the many facets of poverty, particularly in developing nations. The new index relies heavily on secondary data and faces numerous challenges. No study has been conducted in India to take into account all of the indicators mentioned in the original MPI that are based solely on primary data. As a result, there ought to be a research gap that calls for additional case studies and research. On the off chance that the Multidimensionality of neediness is pleasant, another record is fundamental absent a lot of constraint and with much materialness. This issue was the focus of this study. It used primary data to determine the MPI of the most vulnerable section of Kerala, which is regarded as the world's best example for social and human development indicators.
