| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The article is concerned with the analysis of the human development achievement and improvement indices of Indian states for the time period of 1981, 1991, 2001 and 2011. The analysis points out how Indian states have, over time, extensively changed their position in terms of various achievements and improvement index values. There is wide difference in the ranking of the states in terms of achievement and improvement indices. There is non-linearity in the improvement of various dimensions as well as the overall human development. The most striking result is the low improvement of the low-achieving states. This is a cause of serious concern and must be addressed through increasing input allocation and efficient utilization of such inputs. The public sector could also be more strengthened in such states. |
