Detailed Solution

Dimensions of poverty are: hunger and lack of shelter, lack of a regular job at a minimum decent level and lack of clean water and sanitation facilities. The most common way to measure poverty is through income or consumption levels. A person is considered poor if his or her income or consumption level is less than a certain minimum level required to meet basic needs. In India, anyone earning less than Rs 328 per month in rural areas and Rs 454 per month in urban areas are considered poor. The NITI Aayog Task Force is now estimating poverty in India by calculating the poverty line using data collected by the National Sample Survey Office under the Ministry of Statistics and Program Implementation (MOSPI).
