| dc.description.abstract | The concept of quality of life broadly encompasses how an individual measures the 'goodness' of multiple aspects of their life and it is measured by many social and economic factors. In this context a research study on Interstate variation in quality of life in India - An empirical analysis" was formulated with the objectives of computing quality of life index for different States of India and identifying the factors causing interstate variation in quality of life in Indio. The study was related to 16 major states of India. The required information were compiled from National Health Profile 2008: Economic Survey, 2011-12 and Selected educational statistics, 2011-12. Following the United Nations Development Programme procedure, index of education, index of life expectancy, index of per capita income and finally the index of quality of life was calculated. The study estimated Theil's inequality index of selected variables and applied discriminant analysis. The study found that the estimated educational index was found to be the highest in Kerala (.93) and lowest in Bihar (.63). The quality life index was found to be the highest in Punjab (3.70) and lowest in Bihar (2.394). The estimated discriminant function revealed that population in various states accounted for large percentage of (77.95) change in quality of life. The study recommended that, to improve quality of life efforts need to be formulated to expand educational opportunity for the children and also more number of primary health centres should be established. | en_US |
