Emerging COVID-19 Spread Index exposes misleading Human Development Index By: Vijay SARDANA The Human Development Index – or simply, HDI – is an index that is used to rank countries based on human development. Human Development Index is scored using indicators including expectancy, per capita income, and education. Nations that rank higher on this index have a higher level of education, a higher lifespan, and a higher gross national income per capita than nations with a lower score. HDI is ranked on a scale from 0 to 1.0, with 1.0 being the highest human development. HDI is broken down into four tiers: very high human development (0.8-1.0), high human development (0.7-0.79), medium human development (0.55-.70), and low human development (below 0.55).

The fact is today, farmers in India are exploited by others due to outdated policies and rules which are depriving farmers of their legitimate rights in the money spend by consumers.
