The latest Human Development Report released by the United Nations Development Programme in Tokyo on July 24 has ranked India 135 in a list of 187 countries. The position of the top and bottom five countries in the report has not changed from the past year. Norway, Australia, Switzerland, Netherlands and the United States are the top five ranked countries in 2013, while Sierra Leone, Chad, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of the Congo and Niger continue at the bottom of the list.

At 135, India’s position too is the same as it was in 2012. HDI takes into account long-term progress in three areas—a long and healthy life, access to knowledge and a decent standard of living.

The report, titled Sustaining Human Progress: Reducing Vulnerabilities and Building Resilience, says that though human development levels continue to rise across the world, the rate of this growth has slowed and the spread has been very uneven.

The report notes that threats such as financial crises, fluctuations in food prices, natural disasters and violent conflict significantly impede progress.

The 2014 Human Development Report comes at a critical time, as attention is focussed on creation of a new development agenda after the 2015 deadline for achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
