Abstract	The human development approach focuses on three essential capabilities: living a long and healthy life, acquiring knowledge and enjoying a decent standard of living. These capabilities enable individuals to participate meaningfully in social, economic and political life. This study relies on secondary data compiled from various government sources to highlight the performance of HDI and its dimension of 28 districts of Eastern Uttar Pradesh. This paper analyses HDI performance along with dimension-wise performances of Eastern Uttar Pradesh. Using regression, the study further explores the determinants of HDI and the findings provide insights into which HDI dimensions contribute the most in improving human development in Eastern Uttar Pradesh. The evidence of the research paper shows that most of the districts of Eastern Uttar Pradesh under low human development category and health dimension plays a better role in Human Development performance in districts of Eastern Uttar Pradesh.
