Unemployed people as a share of the labour force aged 15+. Measured in usual status; this does not mean that 96.8% of all adults have jobs.

About 172.1 million people, as shown in the UN SDG country profile. Undernourishment estimates inadequate habitual dietary energy intake; it is not a daily count of people missing a meal.

86.3 / day
Police-recorded rape cases
31,516 cases registered in 2022, equivalent to an annual average of 86.3 per day. Registered cases are not convictions, victims counted, or the total incidence of sexual violence.
NCRB · MHA parliamentary replyRead the data notes and methodology
Selected benchmarks, not a live feed. Sources use different years and methods. These cards are not a single-year picture, a ranking or a set of values to add together. Later publications or revisions may exist; follow each source for its full tables.
Poverty has different definitions. NITI Aayog’s national multidimensional measure and the World Bank’s international monetary threshold answer different questions. Neither card identifies individual households eligible for an Indian BPL scheme. Purchasing-power parity (PPP) adjusts for price differences across countries.
Recorded sexual violence is incomplete. The 2022 rape statistic is an explicitly historical, source-verifiable benchmark. The daily mean is calculated from annual registered cases, not a claim that exactly that many cases occurred each day. Underreporting, classification and registration practices affect recorded numbers; unreported incidents are not captured.
Responsible interpretation. National averages can hide state, gender, rural–urban and social disparities. These figures describe national conditions and are not PR Foundation’s project outcomes. This is a manually maintained snapshot; compilation date does not make every measure current.
