In the Inclusive Development Index (ID!) compiled by the World Economic Forum (WEF), India ranked 62nd out of 74 emerging countries and was among the least inclusive countries in Group of 20 (G-20) countries. The IDI is based on the idea that most people base their country’s growth not on GDP but by their own standard of living. It gives a measure of inequality based on three parameters: : — Growth and development = Inclusion — Inter-generational equity and sustainability. India also did not make it to the top 10 most inclusive emerging and developing economies, where its neighbours Nepal, China and Sri Lanka made a mark.
