ABSTACT- Poverty and inequality are mutually reinforcing variables that spill over in the form of socio-economic inequities. Factors like an increase in the rate of income deprivation undoubtedly lead to higher chances of descent into multidimensional poverty. Income distribution is not an accurate measure of assessing the degree of inequality, but as a variable, it remains essential to our analysis as it is an immediate trigger to increasing socio-economic vulnerability. A multidimensional understanding of poverty assesses the degree of deprivation in terms of lack of basic necessities. These include access to healthcare, quality education and crucial household commodities that improve the standard of living.
