India on 134th Place in Human
Development Index
A UN study
ranked India
at 134 out of
187 countries
in terms of Human Development
Index. The study however observed
that life expectancy at birth in India
has increased by 10.1 per cent a year
over the last two decades.In the 2010
Human Development Report,
prepared by UNDP, India had been
ranked at 119 out of 169 countries.
However, according to the new report
for 2011, it is misleading to compare
values and rankings with those of
previously published reports as the
underlying data and methods have
changed, as well as the number of
countries included in the Human
Development Index.
