केरल: भारत का पहला ‘अत्यधिक गरीबी‑मुक्त’ राज्य

केरल को किया जाएगा 'अत्यधिक गरीबी मुक्त' राज्य घोषित
Kerala To Be Declared Indias First Extreme Poverty Free State

भारत के दक्षिणी राज्य केरल ने 1 नवंबर 2025 को इतिहास रचा जब इसे अत्यधिक गरीबी (extreme poverty) से मुक्त पहला भारतीय राज्य घोषित किया गया। यह घोषणा मुख्यमंत्री पिनराई विजयन ने राज्य विधानसभा के विशेष सत्र में की, जो केरल पिरवी (स्थापना दिवस) के अवसर पर आयोजित था।

क्यों यह उपलब्धि महत्वपूर्ण है?

गरीबी को केवल आय के स्तर से नहीं परखा जाता, बल्कि उन लोगों से जुड़ा होता है जिन्हें खाद्य सुरक्षा, स्वच्छ आवास, स्वास्थ्य सेवाओं और स्थिर आय जैसी बुनियादी सुविधाएँ नहीं मिलतीं। इस ‘अत्यधिक गरीबी’ को खत्म करना सामाजिक विकास की दिशा में एक बड़ा कदम माना जाता है।
