What steps is India taking to assess socio-economic progress

Describe the efforts India is making to set its own standards to assess socio-economic progress
India has taken several steps to assess its socio-economic progress, with a particular focus on inclusive growth. Some of the initiatives undertaken by the Indian government include:
  • Forming an expert committee to define and propose a multidimensional poverty index tailored to India's needs
  • Establishing the National Indicator Framework to measure progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
  • Designing the India Multidimensional Poverty Index, which takes broader measures of poverty into account, including health, education, and living standards
  • Launched the National Family Health Survey (NFHS) in 2015, which provides data on health indicators
  • Developed the 'Doing Business' report, which assesses the ease of doing business in Indian states
  • Implementing the Digital India program, which aims to improve access to technology for all citizens
By setting its own standards for measuring progress, India is taking a proactive approach to assessment, which will enable it to tailor its policies and programs to meet the needs of its unique population.
