Detailed Solution

The National Sample Survey Organisation conducts the periodical sample surveys for estimating poverty In India.
There is a minimum level of income and consumption, and failing to reach this level categorises a person as poor. Each person requires a minimum income level to survive and live a healthy life. This level is also known as the poverty line. In India, The National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO) surveys the calorie requirements and the minimum level of income required for affording those required calories, education, health-related services, and other necessities of life for a decent standard of living. The calorie requirement varies with age, gender, and physical labour. The poverty line is estimated every five years.
