Res : 0431-2420681 0431-2420181 Preface India has the potential to achieve and the means to secure a reasonable standard of living for all the sections of its population. Though the economy touched the nine per cent growth rate during the Eleventh Five Year Plan (2007-12), there are socio-economically disadvantaged people who are yet to benefit from this growth. There are some disparities among the people, such as wealth, caste, religion, gender, etc. To get rid of these disparities, all levels of the governments have to concentrate and work to promote the progress in social sectors such as health and education. The State Human Development Report discusses the status of the income of the people, health, and education. Thanks to the unswerving efforts taken by the Hon‘ble Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu for preparing the same kind of report at the district level to identify the socio-economic problems at the block level. The report focuses to ascertain the gaps among the blocks in the district in terms of access to employment, education, health, finance, social security, and infrastructure. As we know that there is strong linkage between economic growth and human development; this report would help the district authorities to categorize the socio-economic issues and find out reasons for the inequality among blocks in terms of various indicators. This report comprises of nine chapters, which give substantiate weightage to education, income, poverty, health, social security and infrastructure. The chapter on the status of human development provides different indices, viz., Human Development Index, Gender Inequality Index, Child Development Index, and Multidimensional Poverty Index, which would help in identifying the weak spots in the blocks. The report would certainly assist the respective departments and district authorities to identify and address issues at different levels and in turn it would also help to frame a policy for balanced and sustainable growth of the blocks in the district.
