This paper examines the levels and changes in poverty indicators in the 1990s for the rural and the urban population disaggregated by (a) social groups and (b) household types distinguished according to major source of livelihood of a household during the 365 days preceding the date of interview. This is carried out on the basis of comparable estimates on the mixed-reference period (MRP) computed from the Unit Record Data for the 50th (1993-94) and 55th (1999-2000) Round Consumer Expenditure Surveys (CES) carried out by the National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO). The key issue here is how far the different social and economic groups shared the overall decline in poverty over the 1990s noted earlier (Sundaram and Tendulkar (2003)).
