To review and take a fresh look at the methodology for measurements of poverty, the Government of India appointed an Expert Group (Rangarajan Committee) in June 2012. This book contains the Report of the Expert Group and four other articles which were written subsequently to explain some of the issues that were raised after the publication of the Report. The four papers of the book discuss various issues on poverty measurement including the comparison of Socio-Economic Caste Census (SECC) data, estimates of poverty using different cut-off points and the impact of public expenditure on health and education on poverty.  aPovertyvGovernment policyzIndia  aPovertyvEstimation zIndia  aPovertyvMeasurementzIndia
