I wanted to share my concern on India's deteriorating Human Development Index. According to UNDP's Human Development Index India has slipped by one rank i.e from 130 in 2015 to 131 in 2016. Human Development Index (HDI) represents country's development on the basis of three indicators i.e health, education, standard of living. Despite the hype about government's various welfare and development schemes, plight of an average Indian has remained the same or has worsened. I feel both Centre and State Governments should have transparent and constructive implementation of all the welfare scheme otherwise already outpaced this year by small South Asian countries like Srilanka and Maldives. India might slip to the lowest rank in HDI among all South Asian countries if immediate steps are not taken towards bettering the lives of common man.
