Zorluk: OrtaPoverty Estimation, Inequality Metrics, and Inclusive Growth Strategies

Match the Expert Committees on Poverty Estimation in India (List-I) with their primary methodological features or recommendations (List-II):

  • Y.K. Alagh Task Force (1979)Determined official poverty line strictly on per capita daily calorie norms (2400 kcal2400\text{ kcal} rural, 2100 kcal2100\text{ kcal} urban)
  • D.T. Lakdawala Expert Group (1993)Disaggregated poverty lines state-wise using CPI-AL for rural areas and CPI-IW for urban areas
  • Suresh Tendulkar Committee (2009)Shifted away from calorie anchors to a uniform Poverty Line Basket (PLB) using Mixed Reference Period (MRP)
  • C. Rangarajan Expert Group (2014)Incorporated normative nutritional requirements (calories, protein, fats) and essential non-food items using Modified Mixed Reference Period (MMRP)

Cevap

The correct matches are: Y.K. Alagh Task Force (1979) matches with per capita daily calorie norms (2400 kcal rural / 2100 kcal urban); D.T. Lakdawala Expert Group (1993) matches with state-specific poverty lines using CPI-AL and CPI-IW; Suresh Tendulkar Committee (2009) matches with uniform Poverty Line Basket and Mixed Reference Period (MRP); and C. Rangarajan Expert Group (2014) matches with normative nutritional/non-food requirements using Modified Mixed Reference Period (MMRP).
Each expert committee corresponds to its historical methodological milestone in Indian poverty estimation: Y.K. Alagh (1979) established daily calorie thresholds (2400/2100 kcal); D.T. Lakdawala (1993) introduced state-specific price indexation via CPI-AL and CPI-IW; Suresh Tendulkar (2009) instituted a uniform Poverty Line Basket and Mixed Reference Period (MRP); and C. Rangarajan (2014) introduced a multi-nutrient normative framework using Modified Mixed Reference Period (MMRP).

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the foundational methodology of the Y.K. Alagh Task Force (1979).
The Alagh Task Force anchored poverty directly to minimum daily calorie requirements (2400 kcal2400\text{ kcal} rural and 2100 kcal2100\text{ kcal} urban).
This established the calorie consumption paradigm for official Indian poverty line estimations.
2
Determine the inflation adjustment mechanism introduced by the D.T. Lakdawala Committee (1993).
The Lakdawala Committee adopted state-specific cost of living indices: CPI-AL for rural poverty and CPI-IW for urban poverty.
State-level variations in price indices were necessary to reflect real regional purchasing power.
3
Analyze the methodology shift under the Suresh Tendulkar Committee (2009).
Tendulkar discontinued calorie-only anchoring, adopted a uniform urban Poverty Line Basket (PLB), and shifted to Mixed Reference Period (MRP) recall data.
MRP accounted for 365-day recall on 5 infrequently purchased non-food item categories.
4
Evaluate the refinements made by the C. Rangarajan Expert Group (2014).
Rangarajan introduced comprehensive nutritional norms (calories, protein, fat) plus non-food normative requirements, utilizing Modified Mixed Reference Period (MMRP).
MMRP collects 7-day recall data for perishables, 30-day for general items, and 365-day for low-frequency expenses.
