The given statement is False. Poverty in India also has various aspects or dimensions. Poor people vary from state to state. The proportion is not the same in every state. States where the poverty ratio is highest are Bihar, Odisha, and Assam. The poverty ratio in 20 states and union territories is less than the national average. Recent estimates show while the India Head Count Ratio (HCR) was 21.9 per cent in 2011-12 states like Odisha, Assam, Uttar Pradesh, and Madhya Pradesh, Bihar had above India's poverty level. The principal measure taken by Kerala is to focus more on human resource development. Punjab and Himachal Pradesh have successfully reduced poverty with the help of high agricultural growth rates.
