The real development of nation lies in its people. Sustainable human development does not only mean high economic growth rate, rather it emphasises on enhancement of human capabilities. In this regard, Human Development Index was developed by United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) for giving ranking to the countries on the basis of their performance in the area of health, education as well as standard of living. According to Human Development Index (HDI) ranking 2022 India holds 130th rank with 0.64 points which declined to 0.633 in the year 2021. Bihar with 3 percent of the total geographical area and about 9 percent of the total population (Census of India, 2011) holds last place as per the HDI of major states of the country released in the year 2017. In this regard, the present paper aims to analyze and compare the inter-district data of state on human development indicators in the year 2006 and 2016 in order to identify the priority areas of work for policy and decision makers. For which five indicators namely IMR, institutional delivery, literacy rate, Gross Enrolment Ratio and Gross State Domestic Product(GSDP) has been taken as variables for HDI calculations.
