Yes we had a long conversation about it somewhere. Maybe he can link you to it

WOW Absolutely excellent! Thanks for bringing this to my attention @Bad Guy Shabash.

I now have further info to use against trollers + serious debaters appropriately.



From Box 2:

Box 2 Why poverty in India could be even lower

Poverty measures for India are based on the household expenditure surveys done as part of the National Sample Surveys (NSS). Since NSS began in the 1950s, it has used 30-day recall for consumption of both food and nonfood items to measure expenditures. These so-called “uniform reference period” (URP) consumption aggregates collected in every consumption survey (except 1999/2000) provide the longest consistent series for measuring poverty in India. Historically, these have been the basis of the World Bank’s poverty estimates for India at the international poverty line.

Since 2015 is the target year for the Millennium Development Goals, the assessment of changes in poverty over time is best based on the URP method, which was used to set the baseline poverty rates for India in 1990. For 2011/12, India’s poverty rate using URP-based consumption was 21.2 percent.

The National Sample Survey Organization introduced a new consumption series based on a “modified mixed reference period” (MMRP) in the 2009/10 survey. The MMRP series (which modified the 30-day recall to a 7-day recall for some food items and to a 1-year recall for low-frequency nonfood consumption items) was recommended as a more accurate reflection of consumption expenditures, following experimental rounds to examine non-sampling errors.a As a result of the shorter recall period for food items, MMRP-based consumption expenditures in both rural and urban areas are 10–12 percent larger than URP-based aggregates. These higher expenditures, combined with a high population density around the poverty line, translates to a significantly lower poverty rate of 12.4 percent for 2011/12.

The MMRP, which is available from 2009/10 onward, is expected to be the consumption aggregate of choice for monitoring poverty in the future. This year’s MMRP-based estimate of 12.4 percent will set the baseline for future India and global poverty estimates, one consequence of which will be a break in the global series.

End note: a MMRP is a modified version of the Mixed Reference Period (MRP), which has used two recall periods, 30 days for some items and 365 for others; the NSS consumption surveys have used these two recall periods since the early 1990s.

=======================

No one can claim Modi magic for this, since the method was first introduced in 2009/2010. Looks like Indian absolute poverty will soon hit single digits...it may already have since 12.4% was for 2011/2012.

Now the main focus must of course be to get low income (but no longer absolutely poor) people to transition into lower middle income and middle income....just like China managed in the 2000s.

I'm eagerly waiting for results of 4$ a day. As of today's data very country in South Asia has 90%+ people earning below it.(China has 50%).
I think that should be reduced less than 60%.
It will revive our lost image in BRICS because to having lower Human Development Attributes.
We can recover now to be comparable with China or Iran instead of our neighbors.

I am very optimistic this can happen in the coming decade and propel India to a 5 trillion dollar nominal economy.

Or simply a 17-18 trillion economy almost same or even bigger in size as compared to US and China in terms of PPP.

When's that coming out?

Also this MMRP by World Bank will be implemented on a global level in every country if I am not mistaken, so every country's numbers may benefit to some level by it (though we will have to wait and see for sure).

Thats why they are not making it part of their official website data quite yet till the methodology (or some variant of it) is done for every country.....at which they will accept a break in the data series from data implementation.

As soon as survey is completed and reports are ready.

Actually, government of India makes any official data only on basis of own census and surveys etc. .

I'm talking about World Bank adoption of these methods. In the report if you read it, they are saying they will have to make it the global norm so that its not a case of somewhat comparing apples and oranges (as much as possible)

Kerala is best for Ayurveda, anything to do with Coconuts, backwaters, great transportation and highest human development indicators and their mixed culture(Hindu, Muslim and Christian religions share their culture equally). The state is very famous for its decorated elephants and boat racing.

kerala is also famous for many cuties, including one coveted by @BDforever .
