Rangarajan committee to submit report on country's poverty estimate
- 5 years ago
Noted economist C Rangarajan-led expert group, set up to review the methodology for estimating poverty, is scheduled to submit its report today.
The committee's report is expected to clear the ambiguity over the number of poor in the country.
The Planning Commission in May 2012 had constituted the expert group to review the Tendulkar Committee methodology for estimating poverty, following an uproar over the number of poor in the country.
The expert group was to submit its report in 7-9 months of its creation. But it got several extensions. The deadline was last extended to June 30.
