Tamil Nadu Human Development Report 2017

Government of Tamil Nadu

Praise for this book

Excerpt from the Foreword:
Documents like the Human Development Report help to measure the progress along the path that we had set for us. It also helps to compare Tamil Nadu’s achievements in various social, economic sectors with other States, particularly comparator States...I am confident that this Report will contribute significantly in realising the development goals of Tamil Nadu and also to ensure that we are in line to implement the Sustainable Development Goals identified by the United Nations for achievement by 2030.
— Edappadi K. Palaniswami, Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu
