Comparing the value of an individual’s consumption and the required income level for achieving particular level of consumption bundle is the method adopted for identification of poor in India. One-dimensional measure of poverty measured solely by money income is being questioned by many economists. The concept of income poverty does not speak of the cause of the problems in which they are in. Poverty involves deprivation of crucial assets and capabilities. It is more appropriate to view poverty as a failure to acquire a basic minimum set of capabilities. In this context, the present study adopts the concept of ‘deprivation’ which is broader concept than the concept of ‘poverty’. Deprivation is intrinsically a multidimensional concept with economic and social dimensions. The advantage of deprivation approach is that it is based on actual physical and social possessions of the people rather than income data alone.
