The Planning Commission in July 1977 constituted the Task Force on “Projections of Minimum Needs and Effective Consumption Demand” under the Chairmanship of Dr. Y. K. Alagh. The Task Force submitted its report in January 1979 and the Planning Commission accepted its recommendations in the same month. The Task Force provided a quantitative measure of poverty. The estimated calorie norm was 2400 kcal per capita per day in rural areas and 2100 kcal per capita per day in urban areas. Hence, Option A is correct.
