Genius, MMRP is a method for collecting data on consumption expenditure .ie, household surveys. You're becoming more & more deranged day by day. Nothing better can be expected from a sub-human bongoloid.

Thanks for the page number. The quote is taken from the section "India’s poverty numbers"
The exact text is,
In addition, the poverty estimates for
India at the global poverty line are historically
based on the Uniform Reference Period
consumption aggregate, which involves
a 30-day recall among respondents in the
recording of all items of consumption. For
2011/2012, this implies a poverty rate of
21.2 percent at the US$1.90 poverty line.
Since 2009, however, the Multiple Mixed Reference Period has also been used in
the collection of consumption data. The
methodology is closer to best international
practice. It relies on recall periods among
respondents of 7, 30, and 365 days, depending
on the items of consumption. If the consumption
estimate derived from the latter
methodology had been used to estimate India’s
poverty rate, the result at the US$1.90
poverty line would have been a substantially
lower 12.4 percent in 2011/2012. The application
of the methodology is still being
tested. Its adoption would eventually lead to
a substantial downward revision of the poverty
numbers in India.
What the text is implying is that since 2009, the Indian experts have also been using the Multiple Mixed Reference Period (MMRP) model to estimate the consumption data for India, apart from the globally accepted method, which shows significant differences among the estimates (the global method shows poverty rate of 21% while MMRP shows 12%). According to these experts, MMRP method gives more accurate estimates and should be adopted by the World Bank to calculate the poverty headcount for all the nations. But the MMRP model is still under evaluation and yet to be adopted as the global methodology.
The figures shown by Species are directly from World Bank which is based on the global methodology uniformly used for all nations. Until the MMRP is adopted as the global methodology, we should go by the figures officially published by World Bank if we are to compare poverty rates of different countries...
