1 - A common method used to measure poverty is based on the income or consumption levels. A person is considered poor if his or her income or consumption level falls below a given 'minimum level' necessary to satisfy basic needs.
2 - While determining the poverty of India a minimum level of food requirement, clothing, footwear, fuel and light etc are determined for subsistence. These quantities are multiplied by their prices in rupees. The present formula for food requirement while estimating the poverty line is based on the desired calorie requirement.
