It has a population of over 3 million people and a Human Development Index (HDI) of 0.639, which is below the national average of 0.647. The HDI is a composite index of life expectancy, education, and per capita income.<\/p>\n<p>There are a number of factors that contribute to Meghalaya&#8217;s low HDI. One factor is the state&#8217;s high poverty rate. According to the 2011 census, 28.5% of the population of Meghalaya lived below the poverty line. This is significantly higher than the national poverty rate of 21.9%.<\/p>\n<p>Another factor that contributes to Meghalaya&#8217;s low HDI is the state&#8217;s poor health indicators.
