India's national development plan, which aims to create a just and equitable society, places a strong emphasis on the elimination of poverty, which has remained a major concern since the nation's independence. Poverty measurement is important because it may be used to assess the effectiveness of initiatives to reduce poverty and promote equitable growth. If a person or household cannot afford to maintain even the most basic standards of living, they are considered to be in poverty. However, the concept of poverty can vary throughout time and among various countries. Determining the minimum amount (or income) required meeting a basket of need for goods and services is the conventional approach to assessing poverty. This level of expenditure is known as the poverty line. The collection of products and services needed to address fundamental human needs is known as the Poverty Line Basket (PLB). Poverty (with the incidence of poverty expressed as the head count ratio (HCR) or the poverty ratio, which is the proportion of the poor to the general population) can be calculated using the number of people living below this line. This essay summarises the estimations of poverty from various specialist organisations in Delhi. It also discusses the government's plan and related initiatives.
