[1/n]. Wrong/ misleading headlines of various newspapers about improvement in India's #HumanDevelopmentIndex rank between 2017 & 2018 @EconomicTimes @thetribunechd @businessline @bsindia @IM4ChangeIndia @UNDP @UNDP_India 
@EconomicTimes @thetribunechd @businessline @bsindia @IM4ChangeIndia @UNDP @UNDP_India [2/n]. Fact check: India's #HDI rank for 2017 was 129 out of 189 countries & UN recognized territories, that remained the same for 2018 HDI. See page # 302, HDReport 2019, URL is bit.ly/2PnNo5m @EconomicTimes @businessline @thetribunechd @bsindia @IM4ChangeIndia @UNDP
@EconomicTimes @thetribunechd @businessline @bsindia @IM4ChangeIndia @UNDP @UNDP_India [3/n]. In case of India, HDI value for 2018 was 0.647 & for 2017 it was 0.643. See page# 3, India-specific report on HDI for 2018, part of HDReport2019, URL is bit.ly/2P5o851 @EconomicTimes @bsindia @businessline @thetribunechd @IM4ChangeIndia @UNDP_India @UNDP @AltNews
@EconomicTimes @thetribunechd @businessline @bsindia @IM4ChangeIndia @UNDP @UNDP_India @AltNews [4/n]. It is misleading to compare values & rankings with those of previously published reports, because of revisions & updates of the underlying data and adjustments to goalposts. @EconomicTimes @bsindia @businessline @thetribunechd @IM4ChangeIndia @UNDP_India @UNDP @AltNews
@EconomicTimes @thetribunechd @businessline @bsindia @IM4ChangeIndia @UNDP @UNDP_India @AltNews [5/n]. Readers r advised to assess progress in HDI values by referring to Table2 (same as in Table A) (‘HDI Trends’) in the 2019HDReport. URLs bit.ly/2PnNo5m , bit.ly/2P5o851 @EconomicTimes @bsindia @businessline @thetribunechd @IM4ChangeIndia @UNDP_India @UNDP
@EconomicTimes @thetribunechd @businessline @bsindia @IM4ChangeIndia @UNDP @UNDP_India @AltNews [6/n]. This Table 2 (also Table A) is based on consistent indicators, methodology and time-series data &, thus, shows real changes in values & ranks over time, reflecting the actual progress countries have made. @EconomicTimes @bsindia @businessline @thetribunechd @IM4ChangeIndia
