Abstract To quantify poverty merely monetary approach does not provide a true representation of deprivations or wellbeingness of households. Multidimensional Poverty Index measures multiple dimensions of deprivation of poverty that gives a more complete picture of poverty. For the study MPI status of Haryana and India as a whole the secondary data on India National Multidimensional Poverty Index, Baseline Report, Based on National Family Health Survey-4 (NFHS) 2015-16 published in 2021 has been used. Main objective of the paper is to study the status of Multidimensional Poverty Index of India and the position of Haryana as it’s in top states with respect to per capita income from 2006 to 2021. The district wise deprivation and counting of different types of deprivations that individuals experience at the same time has been discussed. The study observed that Haryana stands in better position in Multidimensional poverty index (value 0.055) and less deprived in all the indicators of three dimensions of Multidimensional poverty index compare the average status of India as a whole (0.118). District level results revealed the district Mewat, Palwal, Sirsa and Rohtak, Mahendragarh have higher level of multidimensional poverty districts whereas Ambala stands at first rank in lowest head count ratio 1.99%, followed by Panchkula with 2.47%. Comparatively in third dimension of MPI status of Haryana is far better like in electricity. Its deprivation is 0.75 percent compare to 8.29 percent in India. Results show that there is inter district disparity among the indicators which has been reduced. Few districts are above in all indicators due to economic factors and few are deprived in all indicators like Mewat , which is just 58 km far from millennium city of India. Status of health, education and standard of living is worsening in Mewat. Causes are many Like Religion, political, socio orthodox and Illiteracy.
