3. POVERTY AND POVERTY LINE
POVERTY:
Every forth person in India is poor.This means, roughly 260
million(or 26 crore) people in India live in poverty.This also means
that has the largest single concentration of the poor in the
world.This illustration the seriousness of the challenge.
POVERTY LINE:
A common method used to measure poverty is based on the
income or consumption levels.A person is considered poor if
his/her income or consumption level falls below a given “minimum
level” necessary to fulfill their basic needs.
Poverty line is also below from low line.

4. Poverty must be seen in terms of the poor
having to live only in a poor surrounding with
other poor people, excluded from enjoying
social equality of better-off people in better
surroundings.Social Exclusion can be both a
cause as well as consequence of poverty in
usual sense.

5. Vulnerability to poverty is a measure, which describes
the greater probability of certain
communities(Members of a backward caste) or
individuals(such as widow or a physically handicapped
person)of becoming , or remaining, poor in the
coming years.In fact, vulnerability describes the
greater probability of being more adversely affected
than other people when bad time comes for
everybody, whether a flood or an earthquake or
simply a fall in the availability of jobs!
