Abstract

The Human Development Index (HDI) is widely used in research and policy-making to assess the overall level of human development in a country or region. Assam is a state located in the northeastern region of India, known for its rich cultural heritage and diverse population. Despite its potential for growth and development, Assam has long been considered a lagging region in human development. This study aims to assess the overall level of human development in Assam over a period of time from 1993-94 to 2017-18 using the HDI and to identify trends and patterns in the data. The study also makes recommendations for future research on human development in Assam based on the findings of the study. The study found that there has been an overall improvement in human development in Assam over the period of time, as evidenced by the increase in the HDI value. However, it's worth noting that despite the improvement, the HDI value for Assam is still below the national average and has not yet reached to the level of developed countries. The study can be useful for researchers, policymakers, and development practitioners in understanding human development in Assam over time and providing the basis for policy actions and programs to enhance human development in the state.
