8.16 Figure 10 shows India’s performance in the Human Capital & Research (HCR) pillar
and its three sub-pillars – primary and secondary education, tertiary education and research
& development vis-à-vis its level of development. India performed above expectation for its
level of development in two sub-pillars (tertiary education and R&D) of the HCR pillar in
2020, performing particularly well in R&D (rank 35). It performed below expectation for its
level of development in the primary & secondary education sub-pillar (rank 107), which is
mainly attributed to India’s poor performance in pupil-teacher ratio in secondary education
(rank 118).
