Answer 1

India's Human Development Index (HDI) is 0.609 which puts it in the category medium human development. In contrast, the USA, UK and Australia are high human development countries with HDI indices exceeding 0.9 out of a maximum of 1.

For the specific components of the HDI index for these countries, consider the following table.

	Life Expectancy	Mean Years of Schooling	Per Capita Income (US Dollars)	HDI Index
India	68	5.4	5497	0.609
USA	79.1	12.9	52947	0.915
UK	80.7	13.1	39267	0.917
Australia	82.4	13	42261	0.935

From the table, it is obvious that India needs to improve on all three parameters to improve its HDI. We as citizens should strive to better our health and education status to improve India's record in human development.
