The proportion of poor people is not the same in every state. Recent estimates show that in 20 states and 7 union territories the poverty ratio is less than the national average. It is still a serious problem in Orissa, Bihar, Tripura and Uttar pradesh. Orissa and Bihar are the two poorest state with poverty ratio 47 and 43%. There has been a significant decline in poverty in kerala, Jammu and Kashmir, Andra pradesh, Tamil nadu, Gujarat, West Bengal and states like punjab and haryana.
