'States like Bihar, UP, MP and Rajasthan keeping India BACKWARD': Niti Aayog CEO
NITI Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant on Tuesday said that the states in India's eastern region like Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Chattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan are keeping India backward especially on social indicators.
Speaking at the first Khan Abdul Gaffar Khan Memorial Lecture at Jamia Millia Islamia University, Kant said, "Eastern part of India particularly states like Bihar, UP, Chattisgarh, MP, and Rajasthan are keeping India backward especially on social indicators. While we have improved on ease of doing business, we have remained backward on human development index."
Kant further said that India is still 131 out of 188 countries in the Human Development Index (HDI).
Reacting to 'Challenges of Transforming India' he said that the part of southern and western India was doing well and growing speedily.
