Proportion of poor people is not the same in every state:

(a) In 20 states and union territories, the poverty ratio is less than national average.

(b) In the states of Orissa, Bihar, Assam, Tripura and Uttar Pradesh poverty percentage is more than 35. So poverty is serious problem in these states. Along with rural poverty, urban poverty is also high in these states.

(c) While in the states like Kerala, Jammu and Kashmir, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh there is significant decline in poverty.

(d) States like Punjab and Haryana have succeeded in reducing poverty with the help of high agricultural growth rates.

(e) In West Bengal, land reform measures have helped in reducing poverty.
