Option 1 : Suresh Tendulkar Committee

The correct answer is Suresh Tendulkar Committee

  • Suresh Tendulkar Committee was set up by the Planning Commission for estimation of the poverty line in the year 2005.
  • This committee suggested moving away from the calorie based model and made the poverty line somewhat in a broad manner by introducing monthly spending on education, health, electricity, and transport also.
  • This committee adopted the cost of living as a standard for identifying poverty.
  • It suggested that a uniform poverty basket line should be formulated for both rural and urban regions.
  • It also strongly recommended target nutritional outcomes instead of calories.
  • The Tendulkar panel estimated a benchmark daily per capita expenditure of Rs. 27 and Rs. 33 in rural and urban areas, respectively, and came at a cut-off of about 22% of the population below the poverty line.
