Vice President of India Released the Delhi Human Development Report 2013


The Vice President of India M. Hamid Ansari released the Delhi Human Development Report 2013 in New Delhi on 31 August 2013. Hamid Ansari explained that human development was the overwhelming priority of governance. 

Delhi Human Development Report 2013 would engender a healthy debate that would contribute to policy planning to make the city and its facilities more inclusive for its citizens. The first Delhi Human Development Report was released in the year 2006. The report gives an opportunity to measure the progress achieved in the human development agenda.

Human development in traditional terms was concerned with per capita income, education and health. The scope of the term however has widened over time to encompass various other issues such as gender parity, human security and access to basic facilities such as water, sanitation and housing.

The Human Development Report 2013 looks at the human development situation within Delhi in detail, keeping in focus the disparities that exist across population groups. It makes an assessment of the progress in bridging these disparities. In the 2013 report, improvement in the lives of the citizens of Delhi since the last assessment was done in the 2006 was found.
