    Incorrect Answer

    Niti Ayog

    Incorrect Answer
    Explanation:

    - The National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO) is responsible for conducting large-scale surveys, including those related to poverty estimation in India.

    - It collects data on various socio-economic indicators and presents comprehensive reports on living conditions.

    - It operates under the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation.

    - The Central Statistical Organisation (CSO) is another wing of the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation.

    - It compiles statistical data but isn't specifically tasked with poverty surveys.

    - The Planning Commission was involved in poverty estimation in India.

    - However, it used data collected by NSSO for its reports and policy formulations.

    - It has now been replaced by NITI Aayog.

    - Niti Ayog came into play after the Planning Commission.

    - While it provides policy recommendations, it does not conduct surveys itself.

    So, the correct answer is:

    Option 1: National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO)
