Rural poverty in India: a regional analysis
Abstract This paper identifies the regional pattern of rural poverty in India, for the first time using consumer expenditure data for areal units smaller than the states. Further, it differs from existing studies in that poverty has been measured by using regional poverty lines, based on regional food habits and prices. The application of regional poverty lines, it is believed, has revealed a more accurate distribution pattern of rural poverty than in previous studies. The regional analysis exposes the fact that, even in a largely poor country, there are distinct regional concentrations of poverty, reflecting large regional differences in real incomes. The heaviest concentration of poverty is in the north-eastern and central plateau country, while the most prosperous regions are largely in the north-west. The regression analysis indicates that irrigation use, family size and size of holding exert a negative influence on poverty and landlessness positive.
