  • With the HDI value improving to 0.685 in 2023 from 0.676 in 2022, India remained in the medium human development category, moving closer to the high human development threshold of 0.700.
  • The Gross National Income per capita rose over four times to $9,046.76 in 2023 from $2,167.22 in 1990, while 135 million Indians escaped multidimensional poverty between 2015-16 and 2019-21.
