1. Broader Goals Beyond Income 🌍💭

• People’s aspirations go beyond just earning better income. Many individuals also have goals like achieving security, where they feel safe from harm and danger. 🛡️
• Respect for others is another important aspiration, where people seek recognition and fair treatment in their personal and professional lives. 🤝
• Equal treatment is crucial, as people desire to be treated the same regardless of their gender, ethnicity, or background, ensuring fairness in society. ⚖️
• Freedom is another key goal that involves having the liberty to make personal choices, express opinions, and live without undue restrictions. 🕊️
• Similarly, when evaluating a nation or region, we should not only focus on the average income but also consider other factors like healthcare quality, education standards, human rights, and political freedom, which are all part of a holistic view of development. 🌍✨

2. Per Capita Income Comparison of States 💰📊

• One way to compare states is by looking at the Per Capita Net State Domestic Product (PCNSDP), which helps measure the average income of a person in that state, and gives us an understanding of the economic activity within the region. 📉💡
• Haryana has the highest per capita income among the three states, with individuals in Haryana earning an average of ₹2,36,147 in a year. This suggests that Haryana has a relatively strong economy and is more developed in terms of income generation. 💸🏆
• On the other hand, Bihar has a significantly lower per capita income of ₹40,982. This indicates that the average person in Bihar earns much less compared to those in Haryana, reflecting a lower level of economic development. 📉💔
• If we used per capita income alone as the sole measure of development, Haryana would clearly be viewed as the most developed state, while Bihar would be considered the least developed. However, income alone does not provide the complete picture of a state’s overall development. 🏅🔍

3. Other Important Attributes of Development 🌟🩺

• Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) measures how many infants die per 1,000 live births. 🍼
  • Haryana: 30
  • Kerala: 7
  • Bihar: 32
• Literacy Rate shows the percentage of people who can read and write. 📚
  • Haryana: 82%
  • Kerala: 94%
  • Bihar: 62%
• Net Attendance Ratio (Secondary Stage) shows the percentage of students attending secondary school. 🎓
  • Haryana: 61%
  • Kerala: 83%
  • Bihar: 43%

4. Analyzing the Data and Making Comparisons 🧐🔍

• Haryana has high income, but its health and education indicators are not as strong as Kerala’s. 💸🧠
• Kerala has lower income but the best health and education outcomes. 🌱📘
• Bihar has the lowest income and poor performance in health and education. 🚨🏫
• This shows that income alone does not guarantee development. We need to consider health, education, and social well-being too. 🌍🔑

5. Infant Mortality Rate Comparison (IMR) 🍼

• The table shows that Kerala has a much lower infant mortality rate than Haryana.
  • In Kerala, 7 infants out of 1,000 die before their first birthday.
  • In Haryana, 30 infants out of 1,000 die before completing one year, which is nearly three times higher than in Kerala.

6. Income vs. Health 🏥💰

• Despite having a higher per capita income, Haryana has a much higher infant mortality rate compared to Kerala.
• This comparison highlights that higher income does not always correlate with better health outcomes.

7. The Pain of Losing a Child 💔

• Imagine the pain of parents whose children die before their first birthday.
• This is not an issue of the past, but a reality in 2018, which is 70 years after India’s independence.

8. School Attendance in Bihar 📚🚫

• The table also shows that half of the children aged 14-15 in Bihar are not attending school beyond Class 8.
• This means many children in Bihar miss out on education and do not have the opportunities you might have had.
• If you were in their place, you might not be able to read or write as you do now.
• Lack of education affects not just individuals but also the future of a community.
