IIMA Working Papers from Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad, Research and Publication Department

Abstract: The UNDP Human Development Report of 1993 ranks India 134 out of a total of 173 countries. This raises serious questions about India’s human development policies and procedures. This paper attempts to examine India’s position in relation to other Asian countries on different dimensions of human development. Particularly literacy, life expectancy, science and technological capabilities, women’s development are included in this comparison. On the basis of an examination of the experiences of other countries a number of strategies are drawn. The strategies drawn here are based on a survey of literature carried out by the author at the Institute of Development Studies, University of Susses, England and supported by the Commonwealth Secretariat, London.
