INTRODUCTION
- What is the HUMAN DEVELOPMENT INDEX ?
• It is a statistical tool used to measure country’s overall
achievement in its social and economic dimensions.
• The social and economic dimensions of a country are based
on the health of people, their level of education attainment
and their standard of living.
• The HDI is the geometric mean of normalized indices for
each of the three dimensions.

INTRODUCTION
- Origin of HUMAN DEVELOPMENT INDEX
• Created and launched by Pakistani economist Mahbub-ul
-Haq and other economists in 1990.
• Pakistani economist Mahbub-ul -Haq anchored in the Nobel
laureate Amartya Sen’s work on human capabilities.
• Published by United Nations Development Programme
(UNDP).

BASIC PILLARS OF HUMAN DEVELOPMENT
1
Equity : Refers to equal opportunity to everyone without
any discrimination of gender,caste,income and social
inﬂuence.
2
Sustainability :Providing continues access to availability of
resource by keeping in mind of future generation.
3
Productivity : Constantly improving capabilities of human
resources for delivery their work.
4
Empowerment : Generates choice of freedom in human
beings. Good governance and people oriented policy are
required to empower human developments.

Statistics, UNICEF, Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys and
ICF Macro Demographic and Health Surveys.

STEP TO CALCULATE HDI (NEW METHOD)
1 Step 1. Creating the dimension indices :
The dimension indices are calculated as:
Dimension Index =
actual value − minimum value
maximum value − minimum value
2 Step 2. Aggregating the dimensional indices to produce the Human Development
Index
The HDI is the geometric mean of the three dimension indices:
HDI = (IHealth.IEducation.IIncome)

SOME IMPORTANT FACTS OF HDI
1 Create an overall score between 0 and 1.
2 1 - indicates a high level of human development index.
3 0 - indicates a low level of human development index.
COUNTRY GROUPING
Level Human Development Score in Development Index No. of Countries
Very High Human Development 0.800 and above 51
High Human Development 0.700 - 0.799 54
Medium Human Development 0.550 - 0.699 42
Low Human Development Below 0.550 41

HOW TO CALCULATE HDI (NEW METHOD) ? -
EXAMPLE
The following India’s data is taken from UNDP website :
Expected years of schooling (years) 11.7
Mean years of schooling (years) 6.3
Life expectancy at birth (years) 68.3
Gross domestic product (GDP) per capita (2011 PPP $) 5663
Education Index
Expected years of schooling index = 11.7−0
18−0 = 0.65
Mean years of schooling index = 6.3−0
15−0 = 0.42
Education Index = 0.65+0.42
2 = 0.535

HOW TO CALCULATE HDI (NEW METHOD) ? -
EXAMPLE
Health Index = 68.3−20
85−20 = 0.7431 (approx.)
Income Index = ln(5663)−ln(100)
ln(75000)−ln(100) = 0.6097 (approx.)
HDI = (0.535 ∗ 0.7431 ∗ 0.6097)
1
3 = 0.6235
From UNDP website, HDI of India = 0.624
The calculated HDI = 0.6235

HDI OF INDIA STATE-WISE

HDI OF INDIA STATE-WISE RANKING

WHY INDIA IS LAGGING IN HDI ??
1 Large number of population of India lives in slums.
2 Low funding of education by government and their utilization
does not happen in a proper manner.
3 Lack of schemes of government which is not reach in a
ground level.
4 Person does not respect the talent of other person.
5 People want to go only and only for government sector job.
6 India contain diﬀerent religions and their cultures.
7 The liabilities of family depend upon chief of family.

IMPORTANCE OF HDI
1
It is multidimensional as it include indicators such
as health index, education index and income index.
2
It acts as a true yardstick to measure development
in real sense.
3
It helps as diﬀerentiating factor to distinguish and
classify diﬀerent nations on the basis of their HDI
ranks.
4
It considers many other vital social indicators and
helps in measuring a nation’s well being.
