Poverty line denotes ................... .
Answer: B
The poverty line denotes a minimum standard of calories and nutritional intake.
In India the poverty line was first drawn by the Alagh task force (1979) as the income needed to buy 2,400 calories a day per person in rural areas and 2,100 in urban areas, and later committees (Lakdawala, Tendulkar, Rangarajan) kept nutrition at the core of the consumption basket.
Adequate housing is one item a poverty line may consider, not what it denotes. 'What is not needed' reverses the idea, and 'money and power' describes inequality rather than a minimum standard.
