Income, clearly, is only one option that people would like to have, though an important one. But it is not the sum total of their lives. Income is also a means, with which human development meets the end. Ever since the publication of the human development report 1990, efforts have been made to devise and further refine measures of human developments. Three measures have been developed. They are human development index (HDI), gender related development index (GDI) and human poverty index (HDI).

Hdi measures the average achievement in three basic dimensions of human development:
Before calculating hdi, an index for each of the three dimensions is created,
The hdi is calculated as a simple
average of the dimension indices. The table indicates human development index
for 2002 for selected countries as reported in HDR 2004. Countries have been
grouped under three categories:
The data has been collected for 177 countries. Among them 55 countries were in the high human development range, 86 countries were in medium human development range and 36 countries were in low human development range. India, which was at no.138 In hdi in 1994, has improved its position to no.127 In 2002.

Human Development Index
Hdi measures the average achievement in three basic dimensions of human development:
- A long and healthy life as measured by life
expectancy at birth
- Knowledge as measured by the
adult literacy rate (with two third weight) and the combined primary, secondary
and tertiary gross enrolment ratio (with one third weight)
- A decent standard of living as measured by GDP per
capita (PPP US $)
Before calculating hdi, an index for each of the three dimensions is created,
- Countries in the HDI range 0.8
And above are in the high human development group
- Countries in the HDI range 0.5 To
0.8 Are in the range of medium human development group
- Countries in the HDI range less
than 0.5 Are in the low human development group
The data has been collected for 177 countries. Among them 55 countries were in the high human development range, 86 countries were in medium human development range and 36 countries were in low human development range. India, which was at no.138 In hdi in 1994, has improved its position to no.127 In 2002.
