India's life expectancy is set to increase from 58.6 years in 1990 to 72 years in 2023, the highest ever.

Global Human Development Index:
This index is based on the human development approach.
It aims to show that people and their capabilities should be the ultimate criteria for assessing a country’s development, not just economic growth.
It is published by the Human Development Report Office of the United Nations Development Programme.
The index was first released in the year 1990.
The concept was developed by Pakistani economist Mahbub ul Haq.
Indicators of Human Development Index:
It measures the average achievement of human development by taking into account four indicators:
Life expectancy at birth (Sustainable Development Goal 3)
Expected years of schooling (Sustainable Development Goal 4.3)
Average years of schooling (Sustainable Development Goal 4.4)
Gross national income (Sustainable Development Goal 8.5)
Life expectancy at birth:
It refers to the number of years a newborn baby is expected to live.
Life expectancy is a symbol of longevity and healthy life of people.
Education:
It is studied using two indicators-
Average years of schooling: Represents the number of years an adult has spent in school by the age of 25
Expected years of schooling: How many total years of schooling a child born in a country is expected to receive during his lifetime.
Gross National Income:
It is measured using an indicator called GNI per capita.
The income index reflects the standard of living of people living in a country.
