ABSTRACT: The indices of child and women development play a significant role in assessing the economic success of a country. The state of a country may be accurately assessed by examining the condition of its women and children. The nation or state government that has prioritized Child and Women Development has achieved a greater level of development compared to others. This research seeks to examine the condition of Child and Women Development in two underperforming states in India. It tries to provide a comparative framework for assessing the status of Child and Women Development based on certain indicators. The effective execution of central and state government programs and schemes at the grassroots level, as well as the promotion of awareness among beneficiaries at both the national and state levels, particularly in underperforming states such as Bihar and Jharkhand, necessitate robust commitments from state governments.
