NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
It is defined as a country’s ability to enhance the living standards of its residents.
For people, belief in nations’ development is different.
Improvement in people’s living standards, providing basic things to citizens like food, education, social service, medical aid, etc., and increase in per capita income, is referred to as National development.
HOW CAN YOU DIFFERENTIATE DIFFERENT COUNTRIES OR STATES?
Income is a key feature to compare countries.
Countries that have higher income are called developed countries and vice versa.
The income of a country is about the income of the citizens of that country.
National income: it is the sum of the total value of the country’s goods and services produced in a year. As every country has a different population rate, so National income cannot be considered to compare between different countries.
Per capita income: it is also called average income, defined as a country’s total earnings divided by the whole population. It shows the living standard of the citizens of the country.
The average income of the country is the ratio of the overall income of the country to the overall population of the country.
INCOME AND OTHER CRITERIA
To achieve a goal, people earn more and want respect from others, the security of their lives, and freedom.
If we consider per capita in the country’s development, then Goa is the most developed and Bihar is the least developed state in India.
Net attendance ratio: defined as the total number of children, the age group from 14 years attending the school from the total percentage of children in the same age group.
- Literacy rate: it is the total number of people above 7 years who can write, read and understand. If the literacy rate is high, then the state is considered to be developed.
Crude Literacy Ratio: (Number of literate persons/ Total Population) * 100
Effective Literacy ratio: (Number of literate persons aged 7 and above/ Population aged 7 and above)*100
Infant mortality rate: it is the total number of children that die in one year of age as a proportion of 1000 births in a year. It shows how efficient health facilities are in any country.

Countries are marked as very high, high, medium, and low developed countries respectively.
Apart from infant mortality rate, literacy rate, net attendance ratio; the BMI index also plays an important role.
