Development Program. The HDI measures the average achievement of a country in
three basic dimensions of human development — a long and healthy life,
education and a decent standard of living. It is calculated using four indicators
— life expectancy at birth, mean years of schooling, expected years of
schooling, and the Gross National Income (GNI) per capita.
India ranked 132nd among 191 countries and territories on the
2021 Human Development Index (HDI). In the 2020 report, India had ranked 131st
among 189 countries and territories. The decline in the country’s performance
from its previous level was on account of a fall in life expectancy.
