&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;For purposes of &lt;a href=&quot;http://im4change.org/articles.php?articleId=59&quot;&gt;food security&lt;/a&gt;, the Planning Commission today finally accepted that the number of people living below the poverty line in India is 37.2 per cent of the total population.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The Plan panel, mandated by the empowered group of ministers chaired by Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee to finalise the BPL numbers, will now meet the secretaries of food and expenditure on Tuesday to calculate the cost of providing food security to so many poor.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The 37.2 per cent poverty line (that works out to 40.71 crore for 2004-05) is based on the methodology recommended by the Suresh Tendulkar committee that submitted its report to Planning Commission Deputy Chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia in December 2009. The report is yet to be officially accepted by the Plan panel.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Besides technical issues of methodology, the report led to a sharp increase in the number of poor in India since 2004-05. But for the limited purposes of food security, the Planning Commission agreed to Tendulkar&#039;s recommendations in an internal meeting of all members today.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The number of poor in 2004-05, as per the Plan panel&#039;s own estimate released in March 2007, was estimated at 30.17 crore or 27.5 per cent of the total population. Were this number to be accepted as the BPL population, only 6.5 crore families would have got access to food security. But with the Plan panel accepting the Tendulkar report, about 10 crore families will benefit.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;Two different poverty lines &amp;mdash; one for food security and the second for all other purposes &amp;mdash; for one country sounds odd. But this has been the most expedient solution for the time being,&amp;quot; said an official who did not wish to be quoted. In fact, the eGoM was being urged by the Congress leadership to stick to the spirit of the party election promises made in the manifesto.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;A note that was pushed by the Congress leadership and finally adopted by the eGoM specifically referred to the BPL numbers. &amp;quot;Whatever we do, we should not reduce coverage to below 10.8 crore families,&amp;quot; the note said. It said that while the Plan panel&#039;s estimates of poverty could be the basis for identifying BPL families, the entitlements under Antyodaya Anna Yojana for the most vulnerable sections including single women, aged, urban homeless, street children, primitive tribal groups and destitutes should not have any numerical ceiling whatsoever.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;In the run-up to the finalisation of the BPL numbers, so crucial to the proposed Food Security Act, there has been intense lobbying, with the Plan panel itself sharply divided. Despite attempts to stick to a lower BPL figure, the Plan panel has finally veered to accepting the Tendulkar committee recommendations that results in a much higher BPL population.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;For purposes of &lt;a href=&quot;http://im4change.org/articles.php?articleId=59&quot;&gt;food security&lt;/a&gt;, the Planning Commission today finally accepted that the number of people living below the poverty line in India is 37.2 per cent of the total population.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The Plan panel, mandated by the empowered group of ministers chaired by Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee to finalise the BPL numbers, will now meet the secretaries of food and expenditure on Tuesday to calculate the cost of providing food security to so many poor.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The 37.2 per cent poverty line (that works out to 40.71 crore for 2004-05) is based on the methodology recommended by the Suresh Tendulkar committee that submitted its report to Planning Commission Deputy Chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia in December 2009. The report is yet to be officially accepted by the Plan panel.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Besides technical issues of methodology, the report led to a sharp increase in the number of poor in India since 2004-05. But for the limited purposes of food security, the Planning Commission agreed to Tendulkar&#039;s recommendations in an internal meeting of all members today.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The number of poor in 2004-05, as per the Plan panel&#039;s own estimate released in March 2007, was estimated at 30.17 crore or 27.5 per cent of the total population. Were this number to be accepted as the BPL population, only 6.5 crore families would have got access to food security. But with the Plan panel accepting the Tendulkar report, about 10 crore families will benefit.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;Two different poverty lines &amp;mdash; one for food security and the second for all other purposes &amp;mdash; for one country sounds odd. But this has been the most expedient solution for the time being,&amp;quot; said an official who did not wish to be quoted. In fact, the eGoM was being urged by the Congress leadership to stick to the spirit of the party election promises made in the manifesto.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

It said that while the Plan panel&#039;s estimates of poverty could be the basis for identifying BPL families, the entitlements under Antyodaya Anna Yojana for the most vulnerable sections including single women, aged, urban homeless, street children, primitive tribal groups and destitutes should not have any numerical ceiling whatsoever.&lt;/font&gt;

&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;For purposes of &lt;a href=&quot;http://im4change.org/articles.php?articleId=59&quot;&gt;food security&lt;/a&gt;, the Planning Commission today finally accepted that the number of people living below the poverty line in India is 37.2 per cent of the total population.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The Plan panel, mandated by the empowered group of ministers chaired by Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee to finalise the BPL numbers, will now meet the secretaries of food and expenditure on Tuesday to calculate the cost of providing food security to so many poor.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The 37.2 per cent poverty line (that works out to 40.71 crore for 2004-05) is based on the methodology recommended by the Suresh Tendulkar committee that submitted its report to Planning Commission Deputy Chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia in December 2009. The report is yet to be officially accepted by the Plan panel.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Besides technical issues of methodology, the report led to a sharp increase in the number of poor in India since 2004-05. But for the limited purposes of food security, the Planning Commission agreed to Tendulkar&#039;s recommendations in an internal meeting of all members today.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The number of poor in 2004-05, as per the Plan panel&#039;s own estimate released in March 2007, was estimated at 30.17 crore or 27.5 per cent of the total population. Were this number to be accepted as the BPL population, only 6.5 crore families would have got access to food security. But with the Plan panel accepting the Tendulkar report, about 10 crore families will benefit.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;Two different poverty lines &amp;mdash; one for food security and the second for all other purposes &amp;mdash; for one country sounds odd. But this has been the most expedient solution for the time being,&amp;quot; said an official who did not wish to be quoted. In fact, the eGoM was being urged by the Congress leadership to stick to the spirit of the party election promises made in the manifesto.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;A note that was pushed by the Congress leadership and finally adopted by the eGoM specifically referred to the BPL numbers. &amp;quot;Whatever we do, we should not reduce coverage to below 10.8 crore families,&amp;quot; the note said. It said that while the Plan panel&#039;s estimates of poverty could be the basis for identifying BPL families, the entitlements under Antyodaya Anna Yojana for the most vulnerable sections including single women, aged, urban homeless, street children, primitive tribal groups and destitutes should not have any numerical ceiling whatsoever.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;In the run-up to the finalisation of the BPL numbers, so crucial to the proposed Food Security Act, there has been intense lobbying, with the Plan panel itself sharply divided. Despite attempts to stick to a lower BPL figure, the Plan panel has finally veered to accepting the Tendulkar committee recommendations that results in a much higher BPL population.&lt;br /&gt;

37.2 per cent of population BPL, 10 crore families to get food security

For purposes of food security, the Planning Commission today finally accepted that the number of people living below the poverty line in India is 37.2 per cent of the total population. The Plan panel, mandated by the empowered group of ministers chaired by Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee to finalise the BPL numbers, will now meet the secretaries of food and expenditure on Tuesday to calculate the cost of providing food security to so many poor. The 37.2 per cent poverty line (that works out to 40.71 crore for 2004-05) is based on the methodology recommended by the Suresh Tendulkar committee that submitted its report to Planning Commission Deputy Chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia in December 2009. The report is yet to be officially accepted by the Plan panel. Besides technical issues of methodology, the report led to a sharp increase in the number of poor in India since 2004-05. But for the limited purposes of food security, the Planning Commission agreed to Tendulkar's recommendations in an internal meeting of all members today. The number of poor in 2004-05, as per the Plan panel's own estimate released in March 2007, was estimated at 30.17 crore or 27.5 per cent of the total population. Were this number to be accepted as the BPL population, only 6.5 crore families would have got access to food security. But with the Plan panel accepting the Tendulkar report, about 10 crore families will benefit. "Two different poverty lines — one for food security and the second for all other purposes — for one country sounds odd. But this has been the most expedient solution for the time being," said an official who did not wish to be quoted. In fact, the eGoM was being urged by the Congress leadership to stick to the spirit of the party election promises made in the manifesto. A note that was pushed by the Congress leadership and finally adopted by the eGoM specifically referred to the BPL numbers. "Whatever we do, we should not reduce coverage to below 10.8 crore families," the note said. It said that while the Plan panel's estimates of poverty could be the basis for identifying BPL families, the entitlements under Antyodaya Anna Yojana for the most vulnerable sections including single women, aged, urban homeless, street children, primitive tribal groups and destitutes should not have any numerical ceiling whatsoever. In the run-up to the finalisation of the BPL numbers, so crucial to the proposed Food Security Act, there has been intense lobbying, with the Plan panel itself sharply divided. Despite attempts to stick to a lower BPL figure, the Plan panel has finally veered to accepting the Tendulkar committee recommendations that results in a much higher BPL population.
