Two principle issues that are central to the discourse on development are poverty and inequality and a lot of research has been done in this regard dealing with these issues either collectively or separately. But, the majority of research has been done following the income or expenditure approach which is quantitative and perceived as a narrow approach. Only recently, the qualitative aspects of poverty and inequality are taken into consideration in their measurement. Aspects such as incidence, intensity and inequality of poverty were covered in this study. A primary survey was conducted in the Nuh district of Haryana state of India to measure Multidimensional poverty in its three aspects across the gender and spatial dimensions. The study concludes that variation is experienced between male and female and urban as well as rural areas.
