Human development is recognized by state government both as an end and as a mean of progress. On the one hand, it meets the present needs of human beings, while on other; it enables the society to achieve higher level of Growth in the future. Development is thus, more than just the expansion of income and wealth, about creating an enabling Environment in which people can develop their full potential and can lead productive, creative lives in accord with their needs and interests. Human development concept is a multidimensional paradigm which simultaneously aims at several values. It is action-oriented and practical in seeking to change the conditions of life and expand Options to increase choices in the lives of human beings. Despite having made substantial progress on many fronts we do have our area of concern as indices of Health and POVERTY still continue to be unsatisfactory, similarly economic growth has also remained little lower than the national Average. Each year since 1990 the Human Development Report has published the Human Development Index. The HDI represents a push for a broader definition of well-being and provides a composite measure of three basic dimensions of human development: health, education and income.

(b) providing, based on rigorous research, policy and programme options for more effective and efficient human development action; and

Madhya Pradesh has to its credit the achievement of being the First state in the World to produce State Human Development Report (SHDR). In terms of Human Development Index (HDI) with an index value of 37, the State lags behind the all India average of 45. Taking into account the health indices the situation is not well. The Infant Mortality Rate for Madhya Pradesh has been estimated by SRS at 62 in 2010. The rural IMR is 67, while urban IMR is 42.

The Primary Sector growth, which employs nearly 70% of the population, has seen very wide fluctuations across last 10 yrs. The principal reason for such wide variation is over-dependence of agriculture on monsoons. While growth in Tertiary Sector has been more even & constantly positive, it tends to move with growth rates of Secondary Sector.
