Abstract: | This is an attempt to measure human well being across different sections of the society in India over time where sections
have been made in terms of ten decile groups of income. In this context, the extent to which rural sector is lagging behind
the urban sector is another dimension of the study. The study uses grouped household data, collected and made available by
National Sample Survey Organisation between 1987–1988 and 1999–2000. The inter decile group analysis does not show parity
in the attainment levels of the individual indicators of human well being, although an overall systematic inter temporal betterment
for each decile group is very clear. Rural–urban gaps in terms of attainment of these indicators is also not so small.
