Gini Index Says India is Equal But What’s the Ground Reality

The Gini Index claims India is one of the world's most equal societies, with a score of 25.5. But does this match the Ground Reality?
​Data shows India's top 1% population holds 22.6% of the national income, while our large informal economy isn't fully reflected. We also face a significant Digital Divide, with only about 50% of schools having internet access. In rural areas, the gap is even wider, with only 25% of women having access compared to nearly 50% of men.
​This highlights the true challenge: wealth concentration, gender inequality, and differences in digital and education access. While the Gini Index gives one perspective, real progress depends on tackling these multiple dimensions of inequality.
​The good news? India has reduced extreme poverty from 16.2% to 2.3% in a decade—a big achievement! But true development comes from addressing all forms of inequality, not just one.
