Human Development Reports - United Nations Development Programme

The objective of this report is to examine the experience of Andhra Pradesh in human development at the state and district levels keeping in view these remarkable features together with the interventions and policies of the state. There has been a ‘turnaround’ in economic growth and fiscal performance of A.P. in
recent years. The State has to focus also on ‘inclusive growth’ as there is still a considerable degree of poverty, inadequate human development, problems in agriculture, insufficient quantity and quality of employment , significant regional, social and gender disparities and problems in delivery systems. There has been considerable progress in A.P. in all these components of inclusive growth but this has not been sufficient for achieving broad-based and equitable development. The present government is also making efforts to have higher and inclusive growth in which human development is an important component.
