Question
Give two reasons for low levels of Human Development in most of the Northern States of India.
Solution
Kerala with a composite index value of 0.638 is placed at the top rank. There are several socio-political, economic, and historical reasons for such a state of affairs. Kerala is able to record the highest value in the HDI largely due to its impressive performance in achieving near hundred percent literacy (90.92 percent) in 2001. Apart from educational attainment, the levels of economic development play significant impacts on HDI. Lack of awareness and opportunities for education and lack of job opportunities are the reasons for poor development and low HDI ranking in the Northern states of India.
