HDI REPORT TELANGANA 2017

1. Telangana has improved its rank in Human Development Index (HDI) from 13 in
2004-05 to 10 in 2011-12 among the states in India.
2. The Human Development Index (HDI) is a simple measure to assess the overall
status of a human development in terms of three dimensions – such as long and
healthy life, knowledge and decent
standard of living.
3. According to the UNDP methodology, life expectancy for long and healthy life,
literacy rate and school enrolment rate for knowledge and per capita Gross District
Domestic Product (GDDP) for decent standard of living are the indicators
considered for these three dimensions.
4. The Sample Registration System (SRS) data has revealed that IMR in Telangana
State declined to 34 in 2015 as compared to 35 in 2014. However, the NFHS Survey
2015-16 reported that IMR in the state is 28.
5. MMR ranging from 71 in Hyderabad to 152 in Adilabad.
6. A higher percentage of children are stunted in Khammam and Adilabad districts
which have a high concentration of tribal population, and in the bottom level HDI
districts of Nizamabad, Mahbubnagar and Medak
7. Harithaharam has expanded the tree cover throughout Telangana which would
contribute to a reduction in temperatures resulting in less evaporation of water in
rural and urban areas.
8. Mission Bhageeratha has the mandate of providing adequate and safe drinking
water to all the households in their premises across the villages and urban areas.

sections-backward castes, Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes and religious
minority groups- which constitute 85 percent of the state population.
11. Hyderabad and Ranga Reddy have retained their top two positions in the spectrum
of human development of Telangana State, in both the years (2004-05 and 2011-

imperative to improve human development and reduce it inequalities in
Telangana state.
23. The Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR) is defined as the number of maternal deaths
