Even though in Kerala the per capita income is very low but it has better human development ranking than Haryana because of the following reasons:

  • it has high literacy rates as compaired to Haryana.
  • it has better healthcare facilities.
  • Also the infant mortality rate is very low in Kerala.

and also the per capita income of any state is calculated on the basis of average income of the state irrespective of  any other important factors...

No, I do not agree with the statement that per capita income is not a useful criterion at all. Kerala, with lower per capita income has a better human development ranking than Maharashtra because, human development ranking is determined using a combination of factors such as health, education, and income. So, this does not imply that per capita income is not useful. Rather, per capita income is one of the development factors and can not be neglected. The World Bank uses per capita income as the criterion for measuring development and comparing states. But this criterion has certain limitations because of which determination of Human Development Index (HDI) is done using this criterion along with some other development factors like health, education etc. If the rate of population growth, is higher than the rate of growth of national income, this will lead to fall in per capita availability of goods and services and economic welfare.
