Detailed Solution

Twenty-six crore people live in India below the poverty line.
The poverty line is the cut-off point dividing a country's population between the poor and the non-poor. A common way to learn about poverty depends on income or consumption levels. A person is said to be poor if their income or consumption level goes below the minimum level needed to fulfil their basic needs. It is necessary to satisfy the basic needs of different people at different times and within the country. Thus, the poverty line can vary with time and place.
