Which statement is not true about the poverty estimates based on the 68th round of NSSO?
Detailed Explanation:
The 68th NSSO round (2011-12) used the Tendulkar methodology and established the poverty line at Rs. 33.33 per capita per day for urban areas (Statement 1 is true). The survey revealed that 21.9% of India's population was living below the poverty line (Statement 2 is true).
Statement 3 claims 33.35% of the population was below the poverty line, which contradicts the official figure of 21.9% and is therefore incorrect.
Therefore, Statement 3 is the false statement, making Option 3 the correct answer.
