Give an account of interstate disparities of poverty in India
✌ANSWER
The proportion of poverty in different states of India is not the same. There are huge disparities in poverty among these.
The following are the facts which show this disparity:
The success rate in poverty eradication varies from state to state. Poverty is a serious problem yet in some of the northern states like Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Odisha, etc.
In 20 states and union territories, the poverty ratio is below the average national ratio. There is a significant decline in poverty in Kerala and Jammu and Kashmir.
Bihar and Odisha continue to be the two of the poorest states of India with 33.7% and 32.6$ respectively. This is because of illiteracy and social backwardness.
Jammu and Kashmir and Punjab have the lowest poverty rate of 3.5% and 6% respectively. This is because of the growth in the tourism industry and agriculture.

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.
