Expert Answer
- The Planning Commission estimates poverty in India on the basis of consumption expenditure data collected by the National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO).
- About 55% of the total population was below the poverty line in 1973–74, and it has declined to 22% in 2011–12.
- The state level trend shows that Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, West Bengal, Bihar and Odisha accounted for about 70% of Indian poor.
- The table clearly indicates that over the years, rural poverty has declined from 56% to 26%, while urban poverty has declined from 49% to 15%.
- So, the decline in the poverty level is more in rural areas than in urban areas.
- Rural people migrate to urban areas in search of jobs but are not able to find jobs which provide an income beyond subsistence.
- Hence, this adds to the percentage of the population living below the poverty line in urban areas.
