POST 22

India Ranks on 136th position on Human Development Indicators list, well that's not great rank considering that there 249 countries in the world (Wikipedia) far from BRIC nations.

Before I tell why this is the question of concern, let me first  tell what this Human Development Index means and how this system works.

Human Development Index :The Human Development Index (HDI) is a composite statistic of life expectancy, education, and income indices to rank countries into four tiers of human development. It was created by economist Mahbub ul Haq, followed by economist Amartya Sen in 1990 and published by the United Nations Development Programme.

There are complex calculation formula for the methods, for what i want to put forward is the concern why a developing nation like India is standing in this position and small countries like Norway,Japan top the list.

The GDP per Capita in 2011 46982$ in Norway, 30660 in Japan where it is just 3203$ in India which indicates our standard of living. Life Expectancy at birth in Japan is 83.6 years, Norway 81.3 yrs, where as in India it 65.8 yrs.

Adult literacy which is a major concern only 62.8% as majority of our strength lies in youth, as compared to canada where its 100% and china 94.3% as per latest figures available.Well figures don't seem to give a good picture.Well we need to do a lot of things and after reading few article I came across some objectives we can set for ourselves,

 1: ERADICATE EXTREME POVERTY & HUNGER

 2: ACHIEVE UNIVERSAL PRIMARY EDUCATION

 3: PROMOTE GENDER EQUALITY AND EMPOWER WOMEN EUALITY AND EMPOWER       WOMEN

 4: REDUCE CHILD MORTALITY

 5: IMPROVE MATERNAL HEALTH

 6: COMBAT HIV/AIDS, MALARIA AND OTHER DISEASES
