Empowering the Poor: A Decade of Inclusive Transformation

• A PIB backgrounder (8 June 2026) consolidating the cumulative welfare-delivery outcomes of the past ~12 years across water, sanitation, energy, health, food, and poverty metrics.
• Frames "empowerment" as rights-based service saturation + DBT-led targeted welfare, anchored in NITI Aayog's National MPI methodology.
• High-yield for UPSC: cross-cuts GS-II (governance/welfare schemes) and GS-III (inclusive growth, food security).
