In INDIAN PLANNING —PAST & FUTURE : Sukhatme's nutrition studies supply the data on which Das builds his case that India's per-capita foodgrain availability had actually fallen below pre-war levels by 1964, anchoring the volume's claim that planning had failed even on minimum-human-needs criteria.

- "Drawing on Galbraith's consumption criterion, Sukhatme's nutrition studies, USAID findings, and Colin Clark's investment-employment ratio, Das concludes that planning has failed to achieve even minimum human needs for food, clothing, and shelter, and calls for a fundamental reappraisal of planning strategy." — Sukhatme's nutrition studies sit alongside Galbraith and Clark as Das's empirical authorities
- "Applies Galbraith's consumption criterion and Sukhatme's nutrition data to show that the average Indian's diet is only three-quarters of the index for poor countries (excluding India), and that 250 million Indians are undernourished or malnourished." — Sukhatme's data underwrites the 250-million-undernourished headline figure
