Abstract: The core of development is enhancement of capabilities of people by enforcement of their entitlements to education and health. The idea of Human Development got prominent during 1990 when the first HDR was published under aegis of UNDP. India has been characterised as a country with low level of human development with the country’s rank 131 in 2019, among 189 countries. In order to achieve higher growth rate and match the global standards, Government of India was supposed to be a bit liberal in its social sector development expenditure but the new economic reforms proposed thrift on the part of public expenditure. This paper aims to study the concept and dimension of HDI, also it would review the HDR to find out the inter-state ranking trends during 1990 to 2020 in India. To analyse the government expenditure on health and social sector expenditure in relation to human development attainments is also an objective of this paper.
