Detailed Solution

“National Sample Survey Organisation was established in 1970” is a false statement. National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO) is an organisation set up under the ministry of statistics of the Indian government that is assigned the responsibility of measuring poverty in the country. The above option is incorrect since NSSO was established in 1950, not 1970. All the remaining options regarding poverty, poverty line, and Head Count Ratio (HCR) are correct. The Head Count Ratio is an essential measure of poverty that gives the number of poor as a proportion of people below the poverty line. The ratio indeed came out to be 21.9% in 2011-12.
