This paper analyses the impact of the economic reforms initiated in India in 1991 on the poor and on poverty reduction. Using time series analysis of poverty indicators for all India and across states, it notes that while rural, urban and overall national poverty levels in India recorded a significant decline during the pre- reform period (1969-70 to 1990-91), during the post- reform period (1991-92 to 1993-94), these negative trends have weakened or even reversed in terms of one or more poverty indicators.
