विश्व बैंक के 2025 के गिनी सूचकांक के अनुसार, आय वितरण के मामले में किस देश को चौथे सबसे समतामूलक देश का दर्जा दिया गया है?
Detailed Solution & Logic
India/ भारत
📊 Explanation
According to the World Bank’s Spring 2025 Poverty and Equity Brief, India has been ranked as the fourth most equal country in the world in terms of income distribution based on the Gini Index. This means that India’s income distribution was more balanced compared to most other countries, with only three countries ranked ahead of it — Slovak Republic, Slovenia, and Belarus.
विश्व बैंक द्वारा प्रकाशित 2025 के गिनी सूचकांक (Gini Index) के अनुसार भारत को आय वितरण की समानता के मामले में दुनिया का चौथा सबसे समतामूलक देश माना गया है। इसका अर्थ यह है कि भारत में आय को दूसरों की तुलना में अपेक्षाकृत समान रूप से बांटा गया है। केवल तीन देश — स्लोवाक गणराज्य, स्लोवेनिया और बेलारूस — ही भारत से ऊपर हैं।
