Abstract

The United Nations Development Program (UNDP) created the Human Development Index (HDI), a composite metric for health, education and income, which measures a nation’s degree of human development. The prime aim of this study is to correlate the human development index values of the parents with the learning quality of the graduate students in Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh in India. For this research, the descriptive survey method is used to collect data from 117 graduate students in Uttar Pradesh and 115 from Madhya Pradesh using random sampling. The human development tool is used to collect the data and results showed the non-significant difference between HDI value of Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh but there is a positive correlation (0.947) between the HDI values and learning quality of the graduate students of the two states.
