As a part of collective thinking, the international community under the leadership of United Nations, has given a good deal of thought to the position of the individual human being and his development. Of the 174 countries for which Human Development Index has been calculated. India's rank is 134, while Pakistan ranked 128 and Srilanka's rank is 97. This book highlights with the help of comparative data in 194 Tables a broad range of national concerns on various dimensions and indicators of Human Development like Literacy; Health, Family Planning and Population; Economy, Production and Consumption, International Trade and Industry: Planning and Development; Revenue Earnings, Expenditure and Foreign Assistance etc. etc. This complex statistical data on India and its States has been carefully chosen, meticulously processed and presented in an useful manner. Economic researchers and policy makers, apart from business executives. could do with data covering various segments of the economy presented at one place.
