Detailed Solution

A minimum level of food requirements and clothing, a minimum level of consumption of fuel and light, and a minimum level of education and medical facilities are the factors used to determine the poverty line. A person is considered poor if their income or consumption exceeds a predetermined "minimum level" to cover basic needs. This cutoff is referred to as the poverty line. The poverty line in India is calculated by multiplying the cost of tangible items like food, clothing, footwear, fuel, light, education, etc., by the rupee. The data used to determine the poverty line fluctuate annually. Additionally, the poverty level varies across rural and urban areas due to changes in work, lifestyle, and cost of living.
