1. The Scenario of Gender
GAPand inequality in Haryana
Vandana Goyat
2. • Gender inequality in India refers to health, education,
economic and political inequalities between men and women
in India.
• Gender inequalities and its social causes, impact India’s sex
ratio, women’s health over their lifetimes, their education
attainment, and economic conditions.
• Gender inequality in India is a multifaceted issue that
concerns men and women alike. Some argue that some
gender equality measures, place men at a disadvantage.
However, when India’s population is examined as a whole,
women are at a disadvantage in several important ways.

7. Limitations with Indices
• Acc. to some scholars the data used to calculate the index are
dated , unreliable and questionable.
• The nation can be and are being ranked high when both men
and women suffer from equal deprivation and lack of
empowerment. In other words, nations in Africa and the
Middle East where women have lower economic participation,
lower educational attainment, and poorer health and high
infant mortalities, rank high if both men and women suffer
from these issues equally. If one's goal is to measure progress,
prosperity and empowerment of women with equal gender
rights, then these indices are not appropriate for ranking or
comparing nations.
8. Facts about Mahra Haryana
• Now Haryana is considered a prosperous state as its Net State
Domestic Product Per Capita was Rs78781 in 2009 -2010. Haryana is
the 2nd highest State in Per Capita Income in India. The Haryana's
growth performance is mainly attributed to the green revolution in
the state achieved mainly an account of the state government’s
policy of developing roads, electricity, grain markets and all other
infrastructural facilities. Haryana is a small state with an area of only
44212 square kilometers. We have noticed that the total population
of Haryana was 56.74 lakh in the year 1951 which increased to
253.53 lakh in the year 2011. The growth rate of population in
Haryana is much higher as compared to national growth rate. It is
apparent from this scenario that the health and family welfare policy
and programmers of the State need to be adjusted to lay greater
emphasis on participation involvement of the people.

The sex ratio in Haryana State was almost
same since its formation. It was 867, 870, 865,
861, and 877 female per thousand male in the
years 1971, 1981, 1991, 2001, 2011
respectively which is serious concern.
10. Human Development Index Of
Haryana
Year HDI Rank
1981 0.360 5

2001 0.509 5
The HDI for state as a whole improved from 0.360 in 1981 to 0.509 in 2001,
but the rank as a state in the country remains the same
i.e. 5th. Hence’ relatively there is no improvement in the HDI rank of Haryana.
