Modi government seems to be facing tough time day by day. As per the financial daily, India's Human Development Index (HDI) has remained in the doldrums for yet another year. The United Nations Development Program (UNDP) has released its 2014 HDI report. India's rank has remained static at 135 compared to last year. Other BRICS nations rank above India. The report has reiterated just how badly India has fared on its development goals even as it has increased per capita incomes four times since the 1980s in PPP terms. During the same time India's HDI ranking has improved only 1.6 times. This reflects the growing disparity between the well off and the poor in India. Even in terms of pace of improvement, India ranks lower than many developing nations.
