Lata drew a separate line for every state.

Lakdawala Committee=Kept the calorie base · state-wise poverty lines, updated by CPI-IW in towns and CPI-AL in villages

Tenzin wore new clothes to school and the clinic.

Tendulkar Committee=Went beyond calories to add spending on clothing, education and health · poverty 37.2% (2004-05) to 21.92% (2011-12)

The rangoli was begun in twenty-twelve and finished in twenty-fourteen.

Rangarajan Committee=Formed May 2012, report 6 July 2014 · reviewed the Tendulkar method · poverty 38.2% (2009-10) to 29.5% (2011-12)

N.C. Saxena Committee=Rural BPL (Ministry of Rural Development) · scrapped the 2002 score ranking · automatic exclusion, automatic inclusion, the rest ranked 0-10 · estimate: 50% of people BPL

Hari gave city homes marks out of twelve.
