WBCS Main Examination 2022 — Paper III: General Studies I · Question 153 of 200

Answer: (B) 130

In the UNDP's Human Development Indices and Indicators 2018 update, India ranked 130th out of 189 countries, in the medium human development group. The HDI combines life expectancy, education (mean and expected years of schooling) and per capita gross national income. India's rank has changed from report to report, so the year matters in such questions. The UNDP's Human Development Report was first published in 1990, using the index designed by Mahbub ul Haq with Amartya Sen.
