what is criteria to determine poverty?????????
Answers
Answer:
The poverty estimation methodology has been revised numerous times with new expert group appointed by the Planning Commission of India. Each expert group has devised certain methodology in calculating the poverty line.
These expert groups or think tanks use the ***NSS (National Sample Survey) ***to estimate the consumption flow of households. The NSS periodically conducts extensive **household surveys on expenditure and consumption**. So, from this consumption list of the households, the expert groups select the most essential commodities needed to sustain life. These selected commodities are then placed under a **poverty line basket (PLB)**, through which the expert groups estimate the minimum consumption levels and the income needed to obtain these goods and services in both rural and urban areas.
