Status Human Development in Bangaru Telangana
The aspirations of the people as expressed during the last phase of Telangana movement were in favor of a decentralized model of economic development and for innovative public policies to promote the standard of living, knowledge and longevity by removing inequalities and vulnerabilities.
The aspirations of the people as expressed during the last phase of Telangana movement were in favor of a decentralized model of economic development and for innovative public policies to promote the standard of living, knowledge, and longevity by removing inequalities and vulnerabilities. Human development is the expansion of people’s freedom to live long, healthy and creative lives. The construction of a Human Development Index (HDI) that combines three dimensions of development– long and healthy life, knowledge and decent standard of living–reflects the approach of the UNDP. The Centre for Economic and Social Studies (CESS) prepared a report on "HDI of different Districts in Telangana State", computing HDI indices for the ten districts of Telangana for the years 2004-05 and 2011-12 and projected the same for the year 2015-16.
HDI across districts
Table 1 presents the values of HDI for the 10 districts of Telangana state with their relative rankings (see also Figure 1). The indices indicate that there has been a significant improvement in the HDI across all the districts. However the relative rankings of some of the districts changed between 2004-05 and 2011-12. In both the years, Hyderabad, Ranga Reddy, Warangal and Karimnagar retained their (top 4) ranks respectively. Nizamabad, Medak and Mahbubnagar ranked at the bottom in the two periods. The rank of Khammam improved from 7 to 5, while the rank of Nalgonda slipped from 5 to 7. Adilabad remained at the 6th position in both the years.
Table 1: HDI and its Rankings across Districts of Telangana
| District | HDI | Rank | ||
| 2004-05 | 2011-12 | 2004-05 | 2011-12 | |
| Adilabad | 0.289 | 0.508 | 6 | 6 |
| Hyderabad | 0.631 | 0.764 | 1 | 1 |
| Karimnagar | 0.350 | 0.521 | 4 | 4 |
| Khammam | 0.286 | 0.519 | 7 | 5 |
| Mahbubnagar | 0.270 | 0.464 | 8 | 9 |
| Medak | 0.261 | 0.446 | 9 | 10 |
| Nalgonda | 0.320 | 0.500 | 5 | 7 |
| Nizamabad | 0.251 | 0.466 | 10 | 8 |
| Ranga Reddy | 0.364 | 0.605 | 2 | 2 |
| Warangal | 0.356 | 0.534 | 3 | 3 |
| Telangana | 0.322 | 0.510 | -- | -- |

Figure 2 presents the values of HDI in 2004-05 and percentage change in HDI between 2004-05 and 2011-12. It shows the districts with a low value of HDI in 2004-05 have improved their HDI value faster in comparison to the districts with higher value of HDI. This reflects the declining inequalities and convergence of HDI across the districts.
