BIMARU states
Bimaru states are a group of states in India that include Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh. These states are called Bimaru because they were once considered some of the poorest states in India due to high poverty rates, low literacy rates, and poor infrastructure.
Imagine a group of 4 friends, each friend has a different toy - one has a shiny new bike, one has an old skateboard, one has a broken toy car, and one doesn't have any toys at all. This is kind of like how the Bimaru states were seen in the past - some states had more resources and opportunities for development, while others were struggling.
But now, many of these states are working hard to improve their economy, education, and infrastructure. They are taking steps to increase access to healthcare, education, and job opportunities, which will help reduce poverty and improve living standards for the people who live there.
So, while the name Bimaru might have had a negative connotation in the past, we are seeing progress and growth in these states which is something to be optimistic about!
