In rural areas, persons below poverty line constitute 6.1 percent of the population with an absolute number of 80,000 persons and in urban areas it was 32.1 per cent of the population with 1.9 lakhs below the poverty line. In recent time Government of India highlighted that Nagaland is the highest rise in poverty level in India with 4.1 lakhs population living below poverty line in 2009-10, as against 1.7 lakhs in 2004-05.
