Well, if you have a home and can cook food 400 Rs/day isn't too bad. (With 100 Rs you can get some vegetables more than a kilo of rice) Buying from a food stall is going to be somewhat more expensive than cooking food yourself. And food stall prices vary depending on quality of the food.

Also, poverty definitions vary.

EDIT: 400 Rs/day = 12000 Rs/month which isn't horrible.
