India

The state of Bihar is one of the poorest states of India. It is often called India’s “basket case” or “failed state”. In a ranking of all states, it comes out at the bottom, or very near the bottom in almost all social and economic development indicators. Bihar’s record has a major effect on the national record in poverty alleviation and other indicators, as, with a population of 83 million, Bihar is the third largest state in the country. One-seventh of India’s below-the-poverty-line (BPL) people live in Bihar.

UWT has initiated Sewing Machine Training Projects in the region for widows and poor women.
