B'desh, Nepal doing better than India on human devt: Amartya Sen
Press Trust of India / New Delhi Dec 16, 2011, 19:22 IST
India's track record of dealing with the human development issues is worst than neighbours like Bangladesh, Nepal and Bhutan, Nobel laureate and noted economist Amartya Sen said today.
"The tragedy is that not only China, but even Bangladesh is now doing better on almost every one of these social indicators than India is doing.... Every country Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh are ahead already," Sen said, while addressing Delhi Economics Conclave organised by CII.
He said that among the six South Asian countries, India has slipped to fifth position from second in 1990 on parameters such as education, life expectancy, immunisation, maternal mortality, etc.
Only Pakistan is below India on human development index, he said, adding that "because...[it has] its own problems connected to terrorism".
India has higher percentage of child under-nourishment than any other country in the world, even in Africa, he said.
