Despite notable efforts in recent decades, these states continue to face structural challenges such as poverty, inadequate healthcare, educational disparities, low economic participation of women, etc. However, they also exhibit significant potential, with improving enrolment rates, better health indicators with digital connectivity, and a growing focus on women’s empowerment and skill development. The study analyzes key indicators of social development – liked emography, health, education and gender equity. The paper also identifies gaps for specific interventions. The conclusion of the paper underscores the need for collaborative, multi-sectoral strategies that ensure no community or region is left behind in India’s journey toward a developed future- Reproduced http://www.iipabiharbranch.org/upload/BJPA_Vol.%20XXII%20No%201_S%20%20Jam-June%202025.pdf
