Over fifty years of planned efforts to eradicate poverty have not succeeded, and India still suffers from high rates of poverty. Around 37% of rural Indians lived in poverty in 1993-94. This compares to about 32% of urban Indians. Rural areas saw 28% and urban areas 25% declines, respectively, by 2004-05. India has a large amount of poverty in 4 states, including Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh (UP). Among all BIMARU states, Uttar Pradesh has the highest proportion of people living in poverty, as well as the largest share of India's population. UP has sixty million poor people and 20% of the total population of India, according to estimates from the Government of India (GOI). According to an estimate by the World Bank, about 8% of world's poor lived in UP in 19982.
