International Journal of Management Sciences, 2013, vol. 1, issue 2, 37-50

Abstract: India‟s prime focus other than industrialization is on eradicating poverty since independence. Planners have been trying to identify the people Below the Poverty Line (BPL) and build up a poverty index. Recent methodology used by the Government of India (GOI) is criticized from different angles. A new methodology proposed by Alkire and Foster caters more information on poverty. The present study is based on the methodology of Alkire and Foster on two villages of Sundarban area of West Bengal, India.
