There has been a considerable amount of debate on how to measure
poverty. To review and take a fresh look at the methodology for
measurements of poverty, the Government of India appointed an
Expert Group (Rangarajan Committee) in June 2012. This book
contains the Report of the Expert Group and four other articles
which were written subsequently to explain some of the issues that
were raised after the publication of the Report. One should choose
that poverty line which reflects a carefully calculated minimum
level of food and non food requirements. Rangarajan Committee
computed a fresh basket in the light of the most recently available
minimum requirements of food. It did not simply update an earlier
basket using price indices. Also for the first time, minimum
non-food requirements for certain categories were included in
determining the basket. The four papers of the book discusses
various issues on poverty measurement including comparison of Socio
Economic Caste Census (SECC) data, estimates of poverty using
different cut-off points and the impact of public expenditure on
health and education on poverty.
