The uniqueness of the study lies in it being the first to estimate MWPI using the Alkire-Foster approach. [...] The research identifies the gender gap in three related dimensions, namely incidence of poverty, depth of poverty, and severity of poverty in India to the extent of 26.3 percent, 14.2 percent and 9.6 percent using the Oaxaca-Blinder RIF regression technique in India. [...] We focused on both the content and the processes (technical and other aspects) of the survey. [...] During the classroom training mock interview sessions were also organized to help interviewers get acquainted with the questions and the associated instructions, along with the skip patterns in the data model. [...] Training for the procedural part of the survey, such as recording of all interview attempts for each household that was made to complete the survey, sub-sample generation, offline transfer of the sample to the partner interviewer, technical troubleshooting and data synchronization with the server, was done by the IT personnel of the core team.
