Haryana Social Inclusion Despite overall progress in poverty reduction, some social groups in Haryana have been left behind. Scheduled Castes in particular display higher levels of poverty than other groups. Moreover, education and job outcomes for these groups present a stark contrast with others. Open defecation is also higher among the Scheduled Tribes and Scheduled Castes. Compared to this, access to drinking water does not vary as much between households.
