Detailed Solution

HDI is one of the other criteria besides income to measure the country's development.
The mere criterion of income is insufficient for determining and contrasting the degree of progress across nations. The UNDP created the Human Growth Index (HDI) to impartially and accurately gauge national development. As there are examples of countries with low per capita income and better health and education quality and countries with higher per capita income and poorer health and education facilities, the Human Development Index measures development using indicators like health status, education, and per-capita income of a country. For instance, despite having a lower per capita GDP than India, Nepal has a far higher life expectancy and literacy rate.
