Transforming Lives in Bihar: Tackling Multidimensional Poverty through Comprehensive Interventions

India’s multidimensional poverty has come down to 11.28% in 2022-23. This means about 250 Million people moved out of multidimensional poverty in the country, according to a NITI Aayog (the policy think tank of the Govt. of India, mandated to achieve sustainable development and inclusive growth) report.

However, one in every three persons in Bihar is multi-dimensionally poor. Bihar has consistently struggled with high joblessness and the highest dependency ratio (the proportion of dependents to the total working-age population) in the country.

Furthermore, the economy development is very slow. The gender equality and status of women is one of the worse in Bihar. The village we are planning to intervene is part of the poorest Districts in Bihar and will work on all the aspects of livelihood, health, education, and gender equality.

Hand in Hand

Hand in Hand fights poverty through entrepreneurship by training women and youth to run small businesses. This generates income, enabling them to support themselves and their families. To date, Hand in Hands has empowered over 5 million people, leading to the creation of more than 9 million jobs.
