Since late 20th century, there has been a demand for a separate state Purvanchal state, carved out of the state of Uttar Pradesh. The region remains one of the most underdeveloped ones in India in terms of human development index and economic prosperity. Due to general lack of well-developed industries and employment opportunities, the region suffers from significant brain drain to large urban centres.
