(Rural)
• About two thirds of India’s more than 1 billion people live in rural areas, and
almost 170 million of them are poor.
• Although many rural people are migrating to cities, 3 out of 4 of India’s poor
people live in the vast rural parts of the country.
• Poverty is deepest among scheduled castes and tribes in the country’s rural areas.
India’s poorest people include 50 % of members of scheduled tribes and 40 % of
people in scheduled castes.
• On the map of poverty in rural India, the poorest areas lie in parts of Rajasthan,
Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Orissa and West
Bengal.
• In these areas shortages of water and recurrent droughts impede the transformation
of agriculture that the Green Revolution has achieved elsewhere.
