Correct Answer: Intake of calories


Solution : The correct answer is Intake of calories.

According to a standard approach used to evaluate poverty in India, when income or consumption levels fall below a certain minimal level, a household is said to be Below the Poverty Line (BPL). The Alagh Committee defined the poverty line as the level of per capita consumption expenditure needed to satisfy the average per capita daily calorie requirement of 2400 kcal in rural areas and 2100 kcal in urban areas.
