Option 3 : II and III

The correct answer is II and III.

  • Poverty line:
    • Planning Commission quantifies Calorific/Nutritional needs for a basic minimum living by taking an ideal ‘poverty line basket’.
    • This ideal basket includes food and nonfood items which are recommended by expert groups (among other things) which are constituted from time to time.
    • So we’ll have a monetary figure (Rs16/25/32 etc.) which that expert panel considers benchmark poverty line.
    • Then this poverty line is adopted by Planning Commission.
    • For the determination of this figure, reliance is obviously placed on data provided by NSSO.
    • The poverty line is a cutoff point on the line of distribution, which usually divides the population of the country as poor & non-poor.
    • People having income below the poverty line are called poor.
