Answer 1

Explanation:

1. In rural areas, geographical factors as an externality can be predominant in influencing poverty, as for example, in how droughts can act to increase rural poverty by decreasing incomes from agricultural production. There can also be issues over the delivery of institutional quality in remote rural areas.
2. It can be added that improvements in bureaucratic quality and democratic accountability make the economic system more centrally determined, thus negating a multi-determined economics whereby income distribution can be more centrally determined unless policy leads otherwise.
3. India has a legacy of high incidence of poverty, and as such it is considered a very important aspect of the developmental process in India by policymakers in the planning process.
4. These discussions on poverty in India culminated in an expert committee being appointed by the Planning Commission in 1977 under the economist Y. K. Alagh that looked to produce a methodology for measuring poverty in India.
5. A report was submitted by the committee in 1979 that set the rural poverty line at Rs 49.09 per capita per month in terms of market prices of 1973-74. The report also suggested setting different rural and urban poverty lines. This was followed by the Lakdawala Committee which suggested a methodology to update the poverty lines over time in 1993.

6. The poverty line can play a very crucial role in certain poverty alleviation programmes in India in the identification of poverty, the regional tracking of poverty and in estimations of expenditure for these programmes.
