  1. During eleventh five year plan, the HDI ranking of India declined from 127 to 134. Human Development Index or HDI is a true indicator of sustainable development of a country. With sustainable development i mean to refer to the development of human life today and for coming generations, through improving health facilities, better education, reduction of poverty etc.

    Eleventh five year plan adopted by the government had a vision to achieve sustainable development through inclusive growth and consecutively 12th five year plan was designed to further the objectives of 11th plan through faster, sustainable and more inclusive growth.

    But these objectives have considerably failed to achieve its goal. During the plan period the agriculture sector on which maxmum population of country depend had the lowest growth, along with it government failed to generate jobs for the population. Only 15.6% of people in India have regular jobs and rest of the population is either self employed or working on irregular basis.

    According to WHO a minimum of 5% of GDP should be spent on healrh facilities, however Indian health sector is extremely neglected with just 1.2%. Most of the government hospitals are ill equiped with facilities and medicines. Only low income groups who cannot afford expensive private health care visit government health facilities.

    Education sector is also suffering the same fate. Extremely high fees in private schools and poor infrastructure and facilities in government school is making the future generation suffer the most.

    In the year 2009-10 India exprienced a historic growth in GDP and investment worldwide, where is this benefiting the low strata of people. The fruits of our growth is just being enjoyed by a few and majority is suffereing with uncontrolable poverty and unemployment.
