The World Bank's October 2026 Poverty and Equity Brief recognises India's remarkable progress in reducing poverty, with extreme poverty declining from 27.1% in 2011–12 to just 2.6% in 2023–24. The World Bank also highlights improvements in non-monetary poverty and access to basic services. India's progress on these fundamentals is reflected in the numbers: • CLEAN COOKING FUEL: LPG coverage increased from 55.9% in 2014 to over 100% of estimated households in 2026. • SANITATION: Rural sanitation coverage rose from 38.7% in 2014 to 100% in 2019. • ELECTRICITY: Access reached 99.9% of the population in 2024. • DRINKING WATER: Rural household tap-water coverage expanded from approximately 16.7% in 2019 to over 82% in 2026. • FOOD SECURITY: Nearly 57% of India's population is covered under the National Food Security Act. Reducing poverty. Expanding essential services. Transforming everyday living conditions.
