Question

reason for poverty in rajasthan

Answer 1

Answer:

The economy of Rajasthan has registered many ups and downs in its growth trajectory. After a slow progress during the 1980s, the 2004-05 to 2012-13 period has been fairly stable with positive growth, with the state gradually moving away from its status of being a BIMAROU state.

The economic growth is also supplemented with improvement in various other social indicators, like infant mortality rate, life expectancy, etc. The most significant consequence of the sustained economic growth has been the steep reduction in the poverty rate. As per the Tendulkar Committee estimates, overall poverty rate in the state declined from 34% in 2004-05 to 15% in 2011-12, a near 20 percentage-point reduction compared to a national level drop of 15 percentage points.
