With reference to the Human Development Report (2023-2024), consider the following countries : 

I. Sri Lanka 
II. Myanmar 
III. Nepal 

How many of the above countries are performing better in terms of human development than India?

The correct answer is
One

The question requires us to compare the Human Development Index (HDI) of India with those of the given countries as per the Human Development Report (2023-2024). We need to identify how many of these countries are performing better than India.

The Human Development Index (HDI) is a summary measure for assessing long-term progress in three basic dimensions of human development: a long and healthy life, access to knowledge, and a decent standard of living.

Let's analyze the HDI for the countries mentioned:

  1. Sri Lanka: Traditionally, Sri Lanka has maintained a higher HDI compared to many South Asian countries due to its higher educational standards and healthcare facilities.
  2. Myanmar: Myanmar generally has a lower HDI compared to India, influenced by political and economic factors.
  3. Nepal: Nepal has shown improvements in human development but is usually slightly lower or close to India in HDI ranking.

As per the latest Human Development Report (2023-2024) data:

  • Sri Lanka has an HDI score that often surpasses India's due to its more consistent social and economic policies.
  • Myanmar and Nepal usually have lower HDI scores than India.

Thus, only one country, Sri Lanka, is performing better in terms of human development than India.

Conclusion: The correct answer is "One".
