In India the percentage of population below poverty line is:

  • A.Less than 30%
  • B.Less than 50%
  • C.Less than 40%
  • D.Less than 10

Answer: A

Less than 30 per cent of India's population is below the poverty line.

The Tendulkar estimate put it at 21.9 per cent in 2011-12, down from 37.2 per cent in 2004-05. The figure depends heavily on where the line is drawn, which is why successive committees - Lakdawala, Tendulkar, Rangarajan - have produced different numbers.
