Abstract

The aim of this paper is to identify the multidimensional poverty situation and determination of the factors that influence the multidimensional poverty of Bodos in Udalguri district, Bodoland. We applied multiple correspondence analysis (MCA) on the household level primary data for 333 Bodo households for constructing household level multidimensional poverty index (MPI). The data was collected by multistage stratified random sampling covering twenty-two villages of eleven blocks. The MPI value for the study area predicts that the area is poor and health, literacy, employment opportunities and the monthly consumption expenditure of the family are the most important influencing factors.
