India’s HDI Rank Slips to 131, Still Gets Lauded by UNDP Last year, India’s HDI ranking was 129.
Comments
India s Human Development Index, or HDI, position has marginally dropped after improving last year. In the latest UNDP s HDI ranking, India stands at 131. Last year, India s ranking was 129.
The Human Development Report (HDR) is UNDP s annual assessment of the state of human development worldwide and includes the HDI, which measures individual countries progress.
However, UNDP officials say this doesn t mean India didn t do well but others did better. UNDP Resident Representative Shoko Noda, in fact, praised India s commitment to reduce carbon emission and said that India can help other countries, too.
