Poverty is an important factor contributing to the low literacy rates, low GER, and high dropout rates among the Scheduled Tribe population is general. Table V shows the human poverty index and the poverty rates among the tribal groups in rural and urban areas for all the states in India for 1991. the human poverty index is constructed by taking a composite of variables that reflect the economic, educational, and health aspects of human development. From that Bihar ranks very high in the poverty index, followed by Orissa, Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Assam, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan. On the other hand, some of the relatively affluent states are Kerala and Himachal Pradesh. The northeastern states of Meghalaya and Nagaland exhibit a fairly high level of poverty while Mizoram falls somewhere in between. Yet, the literacy rate among tribal women is highest in the state of Mizoram, and the literacy rates among tribal women in Meghalaya and Nagaland are comparable to those of Kerala and Himachal Pradesh.
