Explanation:

In post-independent India, there have been several attempts to work out a mechanism to identify the number of poor in the country. For instance, in 1962, the Planning Commission now called as NITI Aayog formed a Study Group. In 1979, another body called the ‘Task Force on Projections of Minimum Needs and Effective Consumption Demand’ was formed. In 1989 and 2005, ‘Expert Groups’ were constituted for the same purpose.

Under the British, India began to export food grains and, as a result, as many as 26 million people died in famines between 1875 and 1900.
