rather, it was tasked with delineating a working definition of poverty and fostering collaboration with central ministries and state government task forces. Its core responsibilities included devising a comprehensive plan for poverty eradication and suggesting effective anti-poverty measures. Despite deliberations, consensus regarding either retaining the Tendulkar poverty line or adopting a higher threshold remained elusive. Consequently, the Task Force proposed further examination by prominent poverty specialists before reaching a definitive conclusion. It is therefore recommended to establish an expert committee to make an informed decision on setting the appropriate poverty line level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQs\"><\/span>FAQs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q_What_is_the_Niti_Aayog_Task_Force_on_Poverty_Elimination\"><\/span>Q: What is the Niti Aayog Task Force on Poverty Elimination? <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A: The Niti Aayog Task Force on Poverty Elimination is a specialized group established by the Government of India&#8217;s policy think tank, Niti Aayog.
