How is the Bank planning on keeping a balance between its assistance to those states and the rest of the union? Is there a choice that needs to be made?

There are 12 states which between them account for over 90 percent of people in poverty in India, 12 out of 28. So we think that it makes sense for us to particularly focus some of our advisory work in support of reform in most of those states.

There are some of those states which are particularly institutionally weak, and we want to make a special effort to provide support to the weakest of the poor states through activities aimed at institution building and at helping the states develop the capacity to implement development projects more effectively.
