To Cut a Long Story Short
• South Asia has no country in the very high
or high range of HDI. China is the highest
ranked at 92.
• Reasons- Internal strife in Sri Lanka,
Afghanistan and Pakistan, relatively
nascent growth in India and China,
modest potential in Bhutan, Nepal,
Bangladesh, and Maldives.
• Within South Asia, India is ranked in the
bottom half of almost all parameters.
• India’s high GDP is not reflected in
development statistics.
• The declining population growth rate in
India should give her a demographic
dividend in the long run.

Goal 3- Promote Gender
Equality and Empower Women
Target : Eliminate gender disparity in primary and secondary
education, preferably by 2005, and in all levels of education no
later than 2015.
• Participation of women in employment remains significantly less than
that of men and while the gap will reduce, the disparity is highly
likely to remain till 2015
• Literacy gender parity index of the youth, tends to exceed 1 by
2015 suggesting attainment of gender parity in youth literacy by
2015.
• Trends show gender parity in primary and secondary levels of
educations can be attained by 2015. Currently on track on
primary level enrolment:
– In Primary education the Gender Parity Indices ratio (Gross Enrollment
Ratio) has gone up from 0.76 in 1990‐91 to 0.94 in 2006‐07, in
secondary education the increase is from 0.60 in 1990‐91 to 0.82 in
N o te : 2006‐07 and in higher education it is from 0.54 to 0.70 during the

The ratio of literate
women to men in the age
group 15‐24 years tends to
exceed 1 by 2015, implying
attainment of gender parity in
literacy by 2015.
This measures the degree to which labour markets are open to women in
industry and service sectors.
Women employment in the nonagricultural sector is likely to reach
only 24% by 2015.
In the Lok Sabha (as on 27/1/2010) there are 59 (10.8%) women members
out of 545. As on 27/1/2010 there are 21 women members (9.0%) out of
234 in the Rajya Sabha.
Overall percentage of lady parliamentarians stands at 10.3%.
Goal 4- Reduce Child
Mortality
Target : Reduce by two thirds , between 1990 and 2015 , the
under - five mortality rate
The observed U5MR for 2005‐06 is 74.6 per ‘000 live births, and the
projected U5MR for 2015 is about 70 per ‘000 live births.
6 States out of all the 30 States (other than the UTs) namely, Goa,
Haryana, J&K, Kerala,
Sikkim and Tamil Nadu, are on fast‐track towards achieving their
targets.
Apart from these States, the other States which are also lagging
behind and are likely to remain so in 2015 if they continue to
move at the pace of their historic rates, are Bihar(37%), Madhya
Pradesh (39%), Uttar Pradesh(37%) and Uttarakhand(45%).
The Rural – Urban Gap
•
• The rural – urban gap in coverage in 2005‐06 was of the order of
36 percentage points, urban coverage (75.2%) being almost
double of that of rural (39.1%).
•
• The gap in 2007‐08 has slightly narrowed down with rural
coverage of 43.4% against urban coverage of 75.8%.
•
• Not all the States, which are tending to attain more than 90%
coverage in deliveries attended by skilled personnel by 2015,
has rural‐urban gap in coverage less than 10 percentage
points. The rural‐urban gap is small in 2005‐06 in the States of
Goa (0.8 percent point), Kerala (3.3 percent point) and Tamil
Nadu (5.8 percent point).

• The other States where overall attainment in 2015 is likely to
Goal 6- Combat HIV/AIDS,
Malaria, and TB
Target : Have halted by 2015 and begun to reverse the
spread of HIV / AIDS
Spread of HIV / AIDS in India has shown a downward
trend - from 2 . 73 million ( 0 . 45 %) PLHA in 2002 , the
number has declined to 2 . 31 million ( 0 . 34 %) by 2007 .
