Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words
are given in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions.
This years UNDP Human Development Report doesnt, as usual, present a pretty picture so far
as India is concerned. India ranks 126 in the human development index (HDI) among 177
countries. Placed in the lower half of medium human development countries, India is 10
places ahead of Bangladesh and only three ahead of Myanmar.
Though it is Indias abysmal rank that grabs ones attention particularly in the context of the
euphoria about Indias economic growth the UNDP report is best used to chart the
performance of the state. The HDI, brainchild of economist Mahbubul Haq, was developed to
track human welfare as opposed to material wealth which is measured by GDP. It is a measure
based on three dimensions of human development life expectancy, literacy and standard of
living. Indias showing on all three counts is far from inspiring. Even if India is compared to
developing countries in Asia it fares poorly. Indonesia, for example, is streets ahead with an
adult literacy rate of 90 per cent as compared to 61 per cent in India; Indonesias life
expectancy is 67.2 to Indias 63.6; and the population who survive on $1 a day is 7.5 per cent in
Indonesia as opposed to 34.7 per cent in India. There are several other countries in the region
such as Thailand, Iran and Vietnam that are way ahead of India on all these indices.
The uninspiring gures for India must be seen in the light of state spending on health and
education. The health expenditure of the state was 1.2 per cent of GDP, which is at par with
Indonesia and Bangladesh, but far lower than medium-development countries such as China or
Vietnam. On the education front, the public spending on education in India at 3.3 per cent of
GDP is higher than that in Indonesia, but lower than other developing countries like Mexico. It
is not all gloom and doom for India though. Indias dependence on foreign aid has come down
over the last 15 years. Foreign development assistance now stands at 0.1 per cent of GDP as
compared to 0.4 per cent in 1990. The gures for China and Vietnam stand at 0.1 and 4 per
cent respectively. India does not fare too badly either on the Gini index, which measures
inequality on a scale where 0 represents perfect equality and 100 perfect inequality. India
scores 32.5 on the Gini which compares favourably with Chinas 44.7 and Indonesias 37.0.
The picture that emerges is that of an Indian state that channels inadequate funds into health
and education, which is reected in Indias poor showing on the HDI. A few obvious conclusions
can be drawn from this.
One, Indias aspirations of becoming a global power must be taken with more than a pinch of
salt. Two, the Indian state hasnt got its priorities right. This can be seen from government
spending on defense, which is nearly the same as that on education and more than double that
on health. Three, even when government does allocate funds there is no guarantee that it
reaches the intended beneciaries. As Rajiv Gandhi once remarked, out of every rupee spent
on development only 17 paise actually reached its target.
The failure of the state machinery in India is an old story. But it touches a dierent chord at a
time when there are breathless predictions about India, along with China, becoming the
economic powerhouse of the world. It is apparent that the benets of a consistently high level
of growth do not automatically trickle down to the poor and translate into a better quality of
life. But what does one do to ensure that education and health benets percolate down to the
most needy?
There are some who would like to believe that education and health should be left in private
hands. This is a reection of the increasing antipathy among certain sections towards the state.
It also reects a belief that Indias economic boom has happened despite the state. There could
well be some truth in that. But it still begs the question as to why private players would take up
projects such as health care and education for the poor where there is little or no chance of
prot. There is no escaping the fact that education and health, along with law and order,
remain responsibilities of the state.
