Answer:
- The present methodology of poverty estimation takes into account a minimum subsistence level of living rather than a reasonable level of living.
- A person is considered poor if his or her income or consumption level falls below a given minimum level necessary to fulfil basic needs.
- While ensuring the minimum necessary in terms of income is indeed essential for India to bring a large section of its population out of the clutches of poverty, the government must also focus its attention upon the broader element of human poverty.
- A future state may be achieved wherein everybody is able to feed himself or herself.
- However, in the continuing presence of factors like illiteracy, lack of job opportunities, lack of access to proper healthcare and sanitation, caste and gender discrimination, etc., such a state cannot be called a poverty-free state.
