Human Development Index (HDI) is a composite measure of various indicators including life expectancy, education and standard of living. It reflects the overall development of a nation and is used as an indicator to assess the well-being of its citizens. PVTG (Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Group) population refers to a category of tribal communities who are at a disadvantage compared to other tribal communities. PVTG population accounts for 2.5% of India's population and faces social, economic and political exclusion. The impact of HDI on the PVTG population is significant. Some of the ways in which it differs from the HDI of the country are:

• Education: The PVTG population has a literacy rate of only 34% compared to the national average of 74%. This results in limited access to job opportunities and a lower standard of living.
• Health: The life expectancy of PVTG population is also low due to limited access to healthcare facilities.
• Income: The PVTG population has lower per capita income compared to the national average. This results in poverty and further marginalization.

Improving the HDI of the PVTG population requires targeted interventions and policies to address the socio-economic barriers they face. The government has initiated programs to promote education, improve healthcare and provide employment opportunities to the PVTG population. These efforts need to continue and be strengthened to ensure the inclusive development of all citizens.
