Does ‘India’ mean ‘hope’ for the humans living there...?
This places it well behind China (ranking 81) and Sri Lanka (99) but ahead of Pakistan (136) and Bangladesh (140). Notwithstanding India’s dramatic economic advance over the last two decades, its human development performance has not kept pace. Economic growth has averaged 3.4% per capita since 1975 – and even faster since 1990. Over this period, India has advanced 8 places in the 101 countries which have HDI data for 1975 and 2005 – but China has advanced 14 places. Today, a third of the difference between China and India’s HDRs is due to the way China has turned its rapid economic growth into human development. This is shown also in the indicators of poverty in the two countries. In India, an average of about 31% of the countries population are affected by different forms of poverty deprivation – about the same as the proportion of Indians below the $1 a day poverty line.
What can be done? Clearly, one priority is to press rapidly with actions to strengthen capabilities of the whole population – to get every child in school, girls and boys, with support to ensure that they and their parents have incentives for all to remain and complete a full primary education. A second priority is to make more rapid progress in reducing child malnutrition, where progress has been made – but where Indian levels are still far higher than in many other countries, including some with lower income levels and lower rates of economic growth. A third priority is to advance in the other key areas of capabilities – such as expanding access to health services and water and sanitation, reducing maternal mortality and reducing the prevalence of diseases such HIV/AIDS and TB. More representation of women in the higher levels of government and administration would also help.
India holds one important point of hope. As Amartya Sen has pointed out, the best states in India do better than the best regions of China. This means that India already has the experience within its boundaries from which states can learn. It also means that action is needed to tackle the large and growing inequalities within the country – between states, within states, between rural and urban areas and ultimately between the very rich and the very poor. If India could combine action to diminish such inequalities, all the available evidence suggests that levels of human development throughout the country would be strengthened and economic growth would be made more sustainable.
