The Tendulkar Committee method, used for the 2011-12 estimates, moved away from just calorie intake to include expenditure on education, health, clothing, footwear, and housing. After the dissolution of the Planning Commission, the task of poverty estimation was expected to be handled by the NITI Aayog, although updated official poverty line figures beyond 2011-12 have not been released based on the same consistent methodology. Understanding these figures is important for assessing the effectiveness of poverty alleviation programs and understanding socio-economic conditions in the country.
