Many of india’s states can be
compared with medium-size countries. It would, therefore, be appropriate to
construct human development index (HDI) for various states so as to understand
the difference in HDI among them. The unfpa published a report on human
developments in india in a book entitled “India; towards population and
development goals” in 1997. The range of HDI values in unfpa study varies from
62.8 For the top most Kerala to 34 for Bihar. In this study, the variation is
from 59.7 In case of Kerala to 34.1 For Madhya Pradesh.
