Q. Which among the following has been adopted by the Tendulakar committee for measuring poverty?
Answer: Cost of Living
Notes: The Tendulkar Committee, established in 2005, adopted the "Cost of Living" approach for measuring poverty in India. This method considers the consumption patterns of the poor and adjusts poverty lines based on regional price variations. The committee aimed to provide a more accurate reflection of poverty by incorporating essential goods and services into the poverty measurement framework. This approach led to a revised poverty line that recognized the changing economic conditions and living standards in India.
