Increased poverty reduction in low income states in India. ADB programs are more effective in helping low income states in India to achieve inclusive growth and poverty reduction. - Proportion of new ADB loans in low income states increases over 2008 levels by at least 5%. - Poverty headcount in the identified low income states reduces. - Enhanced capacity of government and other executing agencies to successfully implement projects (number of EA staff trained). |
