Abstract

India, a country situated in South Asia, is of sub continental dimension with a population of over one billion people. Even after completing eleven five year plans and five yearly plans, India is beleaguered with several problems. Agriculture, the primary means of livelihood for millions of people still is in a very bad shape. Even after spending billions of rupees under various names for alleviating poverty, it continues to be very acute. Different estimates of poverty vary—The Planning Commission’s estimate is the most conservative and Utsa Patnaik’s is the broadest estimate. Utsa Patnaik’s study using NSS data vis-a-vis the calorie intake prescribed by the ICMR (Indian Council of Medical Research) shows that around 70 percent of the Indian population are living below the poverty line.
