India scored 68.3 out of 100 and ranked 94th among 169 countries in the sustainable development assessment reported by NDTV. The country’s ranking has improved by 18 places since 2015, according to the report. NDTV described that as the biggest rise among major powers.

The source material also said that 5.1% of Indians now live below $3 a day, while stressing that larger gaps remain. It does not provide the name of the report, the date of the assessment or a definition of the income measure used. The available information does not list India’s performance on individual development goals or explain which areas account for the remaining gaps.

It also does not provide comparable figures for other countries beyond India’s position among the 169 assessed. The figures indicate an improvement in India’s overall ranking since 2015, but the material supplied does not establish how that progress was measured or whether the poverty figure refers to a change over time.
