Q1Consider the following statements about India's National Multidimensional Poverty Index: Statement I: NITI Aayog's 2023 progress review used NFHS-5 and measured deprivation across health, education and standard-of-living indicators. Statement II: It is conceptually identical to an income-poverty measure. Which one of the following is correct?
Statement I is correct: the 2023 progress review used NFHS-5 and examined deprivations in health, education and standard of living. Statement II is incorrect because multidimensional poverty is expressly distinct from income poverty.
Q2With reference to recent global reports and indices, consider the following statements: 1. Human Development Report 2025 placed India 130th among 193 countries with an HDI value of 0.685, using 2023 data. 2. Global Gender Gap Report 2025 placed India 131st among 148 economies and measured only women's absolute welfare. 3. Global Innovation Index 2025 placed India 38th among 139 economies and uses multiple pillars rather than patent grants alone. 4. Corruption Perceptions Index 2025 recorded 39 corruption cases for India and therefore assigned it rank 91. Which of the statements given above are correct?
Statements 1 and 3 are correct. The 2025 HDI used 2023 data for India's value, while the innovation index covered several pillars. Statement 2 is incorrect because the gender report measures parity gaps, not only absolute welfare. Statement 4 confuses a perception score with a case count: India's CPI score was 39 and rank was 91 of 182.
