Indices · Modelled on UNDP Human Development Index
A long and healthy life, knowledge, and a decent standard of living, combined the way UNDP's HDI does it.
Score out of 100. Darker means a higher score.
Boundaries as per Survey of India; not an authenticated map. Circles mark small states and UTs.
Three dimension indices with UNDP-style fixed goalposts: life expectancy at birth (20 to 85 years); knowledge, using secondary and higher-education enrolment as a stand-in for years of schooling (0 to 100%); and income, as the logarithm of per-capita NSDP at constant prices (₹10,000 to ₹5,00,000). The index is their geometric mean, so a weak dimension cannot be made up by a strong one. Scaled 0 to 100 (UNDP publishes 0 to 1).
