Chakravarthi Rangarajan's recommendation.A committee headed by Chakravarthi Rangarajan, a former chairman of the prime minister’s Economic Advisory Council, and former RBI governor , has set up a bench mark for poverty line in rural and urban area. Under the recommendation, a rural family of five spending less than 4,860 rupees or an urban family spending less than 7,035 rupees,(or Those spending over Rs 32 a day in rural areas and Rs 47 in towns and cities) should be deemed poor. This makes 36 Crore Indians, or 29.5 percent, as poor in 2011-12.
