Explanation
The correct chronological order of the formation of committees for poverty estimation in India is:
- Dandekar and Rath Committee (1971): They prepared the first systematic assessment of poverty in India, based on a daily intake of 2250 calories.
- Lakdawala Committee (1989): Constituted by the Planning Commission, it recommended state-specific poverty lines and used the Consumer Price Index for Agricultural Labourers (CPI-AL) and Industrial Workers (CPI-IW).
- Tendulkar Committee (2005): It shifted the focus from calorie-based estimation to a broader basket of goods including health and education, using the Mixed Reference Period (MRP).
- Rangarajan Committee (2012): Set up to review the Tendulkar methodology, it revised the poverty line thresholds upwards.
Thus, the sequence is 4-1-3-2, making option B correct.
