Some more data. These are a little bit more complicated to read. We have taken account of the fact that a) the performance in poverty reduction of a given state over a given period will depend upon both the initial level of poverty as well as b) the fact that incremental reductions in poverty might decline with improvement of the growth rate. The figures presented for each state are the performance of that state in rural and urban poverty reduction relative to what the 14 major states as a whole have achieved , taking into account a) and b). Therefore, if the number corresponding to a state is negative, it means that given its initial level of poverty and increase in percapita income, it has done worse relative to the national performance as a whole, whereas if it is positive, it has done relatively better. state Urban Rural AP 3.1709619 4.9217285 Bihar -3.1091986 -0.366487 Gujarat -1.8625284 -0.4168928 Haryana -2.5989156 -1.4175167 Karnataka -4.2280388 -4.4213792 Kerala -0.9352263 -2.4442667 MP -1.1663467 -3.3534591 Maharashtra 3.56411 3.5483797 Orissa 5.0525142 3.5483797 Punjab -2.3569788 1.5428071 Rajasthan 4.0309611 2.8084364 Tamilnadu 2.7870667 4.1823348 UP -3.0399358 -6.432572 WB 0.6915552 -0.3820011
