Abstract: Assessing Human Development (HD) performance at the subnational level within a country is essential to target areas where states lag behind others. Following the methodology of the National Human Development Report (NHDR) 2001, the paper estimates the Human Development Index (HDI) scores for 29 Indian states for 2022-23. To improve India’s HDI ranking in the UNDP, we need to improve the performance of all states. The results show that the HD performance (relative) of states has changed from 2011-12 to 2022-23, and some states have improved their achievement, whereas others have fallen back. The results show that per capita GSDP (PCGSDP) influence HD performance, but the impact of PCGSDP on HD achievement has weakened from 2011-12 to 2022-23.
