The human development index (HDI)
represents information about education, life expectancy, per capita income and
rank of a country in comparison with other countries of the world. Human Development Index (HDI) of India
indicate that India is at the 130th rank in all over the world.

of in-equality adjusted life expectancy is improved value is 0.590. Somehow,
inequality in education percentage was 38.7 that is improved by 0.341. The

Multidimensional Poverty Index

accordance with the previously conducted survey in India, the multidimensional
poverty index value is 0.121. In the survey year 2016, the population in
multidimensional poverty was 364,225. Somehow,
the total intensity of deprivation recorded in 2016 was 43.9% which is many
times greater than the intensity of deprivation in other neighboring countries.
The presented below image represents important details about the
multi-dimensional index of India.
