A welcome report but instead of 'poorest state' Bihar may be better called 'most deprived state' and likewise for 'dalit' a better world is 'Vanchit'. On data Bihar may be 'most illiterate' but in fact its area of Mithila, Magadyh and Bhojpur are still the cradles of Indian civilization where highly intellectual persons reside, of course the state was systemetically exploited and ignored by all including GOI.
