- Abstract
- This note presents adjusted poverty headcount ratios for the regions of the major state of India using the data from the 55th Round of the Indian National Sample Survey. These estimates are compatible with and extend those presented in Deaton and Dreze (2002) and are designed to be used alongside them. Deaton and Dreze presented estimates for the major states, but did not disaggregate beyond that. For many of the large states, in which poverty is not evenly distributed, there is considerable interest in the regional patterns of poverty and of poverty decline. The tables in this note are address that interest.
