Under Development — Pilot Stage
Global ManavNama Index
Measuring humane development — how well do societies translate human values into human lives?
Where GMI stands today: the index is at pilot-study stage. No country scores, rankings or published results exist yet. The framework, dimensions and safeguards below describe how GMI is designed to work once methodology and data collection are complete.
Framework
Self → Others → World / Future
The GMI organises ten dimensions of humane development across an expanding ethical architecture — beginning with the self, extending to relationships with others, and reaching toward responsibility for the wider world and future generations.
- Human Dignity
- Compassion & Care
- Integrity & Trust
- Justice & Fairness
- Freedom & Human Agency
- Social Cohesion & Belonging
- Knowledge, Culture & Meaning
- Ecological Humanity
- Peace & Non-Violence
- Intergenerational Responsibility

What GMI is not: GMI is intended to measure social conditions and institutional performance — never the moral worth of peoples, cultures, nations, religions or ethnicities. It is not designed to rank countries as "good" or "bad" societies. Full methodology, limitations, uncertainty ranges, version history and governance will be published alongside the pilot results, with safeguards against cultural stereotyping, political misuse and reputational harm built into the design from the outset.
