Brief description of Poverty Estimation Committees in India:

Lakdawala Committee	Tendulkar Committee	Rangarajan Committee
The committee was constituted in the year 1993.	The Committee was constituted in the year 2004-05	The Committee was constituted in the year 2012.
The criteria suggested by the committee was Calorie intake based on consumption expenditure.	The committee estimated poverty by using basic requirement of the poor such as housing, clothing, shelter, education, sanitation, travel expense and health etc., to make poverty estimation realistic. The committee suggested to do away with the calorie-based criteria. The committee also suggested to have a uniform poverty line across rural and urban India.	The Rangarajan Committee goes back to the idea of Lakdawala committee method of calculating Rural and Urban Poverty Separately. The Rangarajan group took the view that the consumption basket should contain a food component that satisfied certain minimum nutrition requirements, as well as consumption expenditure on essential non-food item groups (education, clothing, conveyance and house rent) besides a residual set of behaviourally determined non-food expenditure.
The committee recommended for state-specific poverty lines.	The Tendulkar committee stipulated a benchmark daily per capita expenditure of RS 27 and RS 33 in rural and urban areas, respectively, and arrived at a cut-off of about 22% of the population below poverty line.	C Rangarajan expert group report, recommended a monthly per capita consumption expenditure of RS 972 in rural areas and RS 1,407 in urban areas as the poverty line at the all-India level. Assuming five members for a family, this will imply a monthly per household expenditure of RS 4,860 in rural areas and RS 7,035 in urban areas. The Rangarajan committee estimated a daily per capita expenditure of RS 32 and RS 47, in rural and urban areas respectively as the poverty line, and worked out poverty line at close to 29.5%.
