For comparing the poverty condition of Bihar with different states of India will use the ten indicators given by Oxford University. The multidimensional poverty Index (MPI) was developed in 2010 by the Oxford Poverty and Human development initiative (OPHI) and the United Nations Development Programme and uses different factors to determine poverty.
