- Dadabhai Naoroji made the earliest estimation of poverty line in India.
How many of the above statement(s) is/are correct?
Correct
Explanation
Statement 1 is incorrect
- Poverty Lines would vary from state to state because of Inter State Price Differentials for different commodities.
- Poverty lines are estimated using the original state-specific poverty lines identified by the Expert Group and updating them to 2004-2005 prices using the Consumer Price Index of Agricultural Laborers (CPIAL) for rural poverty lines and Consumer Price Index for Industrial Workers (CPIIW) for urban poverty lines.
- According to the Planning Commission, in 2011-12, using the methodology suggested by Tendulkar committee, the poverty line is fixed at Rs 816 per person per month in rural areas and Rs 1,000 per person per month in urban areas.
- The Poverty line depends upon the income profile of the population and on the basis of consumer expenditure.
Statement 2 is correct
- Relative Poverty is defined as Income/resource inadequacy compared to societal standards.
- It can change with economic growth, social policies, and income distribution shifts, hence its dynamic in Nature.
Statement 3 is incorrect
- BPL Census is conducted by the Ministry of Rural Development (along with the partnership of state), in order to identify the poor households.
- Niti Aayog (earlier planning commission) estimates poverty using NSSO data.
- Every five years, NSSO conducts surveys to collect household consumption expenditure.
- Monthly per capita consumption expenditure is used to determine the poverty line.
Statement 4 is correct
- Dadabhai Naoroji through his book, “Poverty and Unbritish Rule in India” made the earliest estimation of poverty line (₹16 to ₹35 per capita per year).
- The poverty line proposed by him was based on the cost of a subsistence or minimum basic diet (rice or flour, dal, mutton, vegetables, ghee, vegetable oil, and salt).
