Abstract

This studyexamines the impact of social security schemes on the multidimensional poverty reduction among the rural tribes of Madhya Pradesh (India). This study is based on primary data. Sample data are collected from Dhar District. This study utilised quantitative techniques to analyse the sample data. Results from the empirical test show that Public Distribution System, PradhanmantriAwasYojna, Old Age Pension Scheme and Janani SurkshaYojna have a negative and significant effect on multidimensional poverty. We also find that the household head’s per capita income, age, education and gender identitynegatively and significantly affectmultidimensional poverty. The findings of this study help policymakers understand the significance of social security schemes in reducing multidimensional poverty among the tribal people and encourage them to execute these schemes more efficiently.
