disabled persons of the world live. Most of the studies agree that poverty is a cause as well as consequence of disability. Since
poverty is a complex phenomenon and includes many deprivations, therefore, this study aims to explore the poverty rates among the
persons with disability through uni-dimensional as well as multi-dimensional approach. For this purpose, the methodology
suggested by Alkire and Foster (2008) has been used on the data provided by National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO) of India
on 'Employment and Unemployment Situation' (three rounds 2004-05, 2009-10and 2011-12). The results of the study showed that
the proportion of the persons with temporary or lower degree of disability increased from 51.35 per cent in 2004-05 to 58.76 per
cent in 2011-12, while that of the persons with severe degree of disability came down from about 47 to 40 per cent during this period.
The results revealed that in absence of the supportive infrastructure, persons with disabilities experience lower educational
attainments, lower employment, worse living conditions, and higher poverty rates.

Empirical evidences show that generally the growth has benefited the already advantaged strata of the society and ignored the underprivileged which results in the further marginalisation of them. In this sense growth can't be termed as pro-poor for these marginalised sections of the society. The recent literature on propoor growth is particularly based on the income indicator only, however with the official recognition of the MDGs, it is widely accepted that poverty is a multidimensional phenomena.
