Others like Tamil Nadu n Andhra Pradesh has overcome its poverty by making use of resources r less poor
Explanation:
The proportion of poor is not the same in every state. Though there has been a decline
in poverty in every state from the early seventies, the success rate of reducing poverty
has varied from state to state. In 20 states and union territories, the poverty ratio is less
than the national average of 26. In others, the poverty ratios are higher than the national
average. Among these, Orrisa and Bihar continue to be the two poorest states with
poverty ratios of 47 and 43 per cent respectively. Both rural and urban poverty are quite
high in these states. On the other hand, states like Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh,
Gujarat, Kerala, Punjab and Jammu and Kashmir and West Bengal have shown a
significant decline in poverty. Public distribution of food grains, focus on human
resource development, high agricultural development and land reform measures are
some of the factors responsible for the decline in poverty in these states.
