National Multidimensional Poverty Index Metrics

Statements 1 and 2 are correct. The Multidimensional Poverty Index uses the international Alkire-Foster counting methodology to establish poverty thresholds based on overlapping deprivations. India's National MPI, published by NITI Aayog, incorporates twelve distinct indicators across three core dimensions. Statement 3 is incorrect because while 'Maternal Health' is included in both models, the 'Bank Account' indicator is an exclusive addition to India's localized National MPI (introduced to track financial inclusion under the Jan Dhan Yojana) and is completely absent from the UNDP's global MPI framework.
