Poverty and Hunger in India: What is Needed to Eliminate Them
Journal Title: JOURNAL OF ADVANCED RESEARCH IN CONSTRUCTION AND URBAN ARCHITECTURE - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
The paper discusses about the various parameters to measure poverty in India. Also what are the existing measures of poverty in India and how do they fit into the policy framework for poverty reduction in India. The basic measure of poverty in India is determined by population under the below poverty line. The parameters, which measure BPL population, are calculated based on the calorie intake of the family members, which is then compared to the poverty index of various countries and their poverty reduction policies. The parameters selected to calculate poverty by various scholars also pose the question of a normalized way of calculating index. This give rise to various levels of poverty in a country using different approaches. The inclusion of social parameters like life expectancy, infant mortality that are also correlated to poverty are taken as a measure of poverty index. The correlation of poverty with all the socio-economic factors bring this index to a platform where it cannot be calculated on a single basis and requires multiple factors to be considered.
