Abstract: The paper examines the status of human development in India today. With a brief introduction to the concept of human development, the paper compares India’s achievements on human development indicators with neighboring Asian countries and the Millennium Development Goals. With rapid economic growth the need to invest in areas which contribute to human development indicators becomes even more pertinent. The paper therefore attempts to search for factors which contribute to human development attainment and look for solutions to reverse the low attainment situation in India.
