States, where the poverty ratio is highest, are Bihar, Odisha, Assam.
Most impoverished are from rural regions and have moved to metropolitan centres like Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, and Odisha. India's poverty also has several other facets or dimensions. The proportion of the poor varies from state to state; it is not constant. According to recent estimates, states like Odisha, Assam, Uttar Pradesh, and Madhya Pradesh have poverty rates above the national average even though the Head Count Ratio (HCR) for India was 21.9 per cent in 2011–12. Bihar and Odisha continue to be the states with the highest poverty rates, with 33.7 and 32.6 per cent, respectively.
