Question

Tendulkar committee estimates poverty in India as _______________% (a) 11.9 (b) 21.9 (c) 31.9 (d) 41.9

Answer 1

India is home to over one-third of poor people in the world. If we add the poor of Pakistan and Bangladesh into it, we find that almost half of world poverty exists just these three nations. The next big concentration of poverty is in the sub-Saharan Africa. However, estimation of poverty has been a contentious issue in India. Historically, first estimation of a poverty line was done by Dadabhai Naoroji in 19th century, though he himself did not use the word “poverty line”.
