Abstract

In 2006, the Planning Commission declared 28.3 per cent of India’s rural population and 25.7 per cent of the urban population as below the poverty line. Civil society groups disputed the figures, and the Right to Food Camp-aign argued the government’s poverty line was a starvation line which did not protect the most marginalized. In respo-nse the government set up two committees. The rural development ministry set up a committee headed by former civil servant N C Saxena; the Tendulkar co-mmitte had the commission’s mandate.
