To achieve the target of ‘Developed India at 2047’ and the holistic aim of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) i.e., ‘to leave nobody behind’; the investigation of multidimensional poverty (including severity and vulnerability criteria) at sub national and sub state level of India, has its significance as it explores the right directions and areas to be focused by the policy makers. As is known the state of poverty jeopardizes physical and cognitive performance of the country people which in turn deceases productivity and growth of the economy. In this context, the present study aims to have primary data-based picture of multidimensional deprivation across different groups and gender-based inequality in the Nuh district of Haryana. The Nuh district of Haryana has got success to reduce the number of multidimensional deprived households during the period from 2015-16 to 2019-21. The reduction in the number of global MPI based deprived households ensures the success of government policies to reduce poverty in the most deprived district of Haryana. However, in terms of Multidimensional severity and Multidimensional vulnerability, the female headed households in the Nuh district of Haryana have been found more deprived than male headed households. The larger proportion of families belong to scheduled caste, backward class and Muslim religion has been found deprived than other castes and religions. Therefore, the present study explores the vital areas considering Multidimensional severity and Multidimensional vulnerability where the policy makers can endeavor to reduce deprivations and deficiencies of these groups rather than to provide benefits of any kind uniformly to all.
