I dont believe. How India be ranked below Srilanka and Bhutan.There appears to be somethig wrong in accuracy, parameters adopted and analysed.
Accurate or not is a debatable issue. However, there is no denying fact that the things are far from rosy and there is every possibility that we will fall short of attaining Millennium Development Goals in time. Attention towards this is urgently warranted that the debate per se.
It's time the Indian government realised that development has to focus on the happiness and well being of the people and not on how much a nation spent. Today it's the people with power and money who decide what course to take because they have vested interests. Unless the civil society unites and raises its voice, our natural resources, culture and heritage are a gone case.
I am not sure what parameters were used in the survey. But it is difficult to believe that China where migration is strictly controlled by the state should rank above 100. India has other adverse factors though:
1. Foreigners do not find India a conducive place to visit or stay because of hagglers and beggars.
2. There is inadequate planning in urban areas for accommodating migration workers from rural areas, leading to unhygienic slums and crimes.
3. There is an increasing trend to oppose intermingling of people from other states, for example in Maharashtra.
4. There is a huge gap between the urban and rural living standards. India is quite backward in health care.
It is not provocative to consider Norwegians at the forefront of humanity with their ethical stances and support for peace.
I find it hard to belive that India ranks lower than Sri Lanka and Bhutan... what exactly are the parametres that determine "quality of life"? Is it possible to read why and how we are not being able to match up or rather move up in the index?
This report is released every year. It seems that it has become a ritual. Why no corrective measures are seriously discussed by all concerned ministries and action taken.
