Question
  1. Name atleast six parameters of Human Development.
  2. Explain atleast three areas where India and Pakistan both have achieved success.

Answer

  1. Parameters of Human Development:
  • Gross enrolment ratio.
  • Adult Literacy rate.
  • Life expectancy rate.
  • Infant mortality.
  • Per capita income.
  • Growth in Real GDP.
  1. India and Pakistan have achieved success in the following common areas:
  • Both India and Pakistan have succeeded in more than doubling their per capita incomes. This is a remarkable feat considering that the population has increased fourfold in case of Pakistan and threefold in India.
  • The incidence of poverty (defined as Sl per day) has also been reduced significantly although the number of absolute poor remains astoundingly high. However, the level of poverty is lower in Pakistan.
  • Food production has not only kept pace with the rise in population but has surpassed it. Both countries, are self-sufficient in food. Food self-sufficiency has been accompanied by improved nutritional status. Daily calorie and protein intake per capita has risen by almost one-third, though malnourishment among children is still high.
