India's HDI score rose from 0.676 to 0.685, keeping the country in the medium human development category but edging it closer to the high development threshold of 0.700. India's score is the same as Bangladesh (0.685), higher than Nepal (0.622) and Pakistan (0.544), and trails Sri Lanka (0.776) and Bhutan (0.698).
