Abstract :
The core of development is enhancement of
capabilities of people by enforcement of their
entitlements to education and health. The idea of Human
Development got prominent during 1990 when the first
HDR was published under aegis of UNDP. India has
been characterised as a country with low level of human
development with the country’s rank 131 in 2019, among
189 countries.
In order to achieve higher growth rate and match
the global standards, Government of India was supposed
to be a bit liberal in its social sector development
expenditure but the new economic reforms proposed
thrift on the part of public expenditure.
This paper aims to study the concept and dimension
of HDI, also it would review the HDR to find out the
inter-state ranking trends during 1990 to 2020 in India.
To analyse the government expenditure on health and
social sector expenditure in relation to human
development attainments is also an objective of this
paper.
