How India pulled 500 million people out of poverty as inequality deepens - Al Jazeera

According to Al Jazeera, India has succeeded in moving an estimated 500 million individuals out of poverty. This massive shift reflects a period of strong economic growth and policy actions that have expanded incomes for a large segment of the population.

At the same time, the report notes that inequality within India is deepening, suggesting that the gains from growth are not being shared evenly across society. The juxtaposition of widespread poverty reduction with rising disparity underscores the dual challenge for policymakers to sustain inclusive development while addressing widening economic gaps.
