There are many articles on the inequitable growth in many economies in the last 2-3 decades, where the gap between the rich and the poor (measured by the 'Gini co-efficient') has increased many times. It is important to explain that mere growth is not synonymous with development. Growth with equity and the nature of growth (sustainable, environment friendly etc) are important factors to consider.

Every year, the UNDP produces the Human Development Reports for all countries to measure their levels of human development. UNDP has a special website only for these [http://hdr.undp.org/en/statistics/hdi Human Development Reports].
In India, different state governments prepare the state level Human Development Reports at different times. Recently Karnataka Government has initiated the creation of district Human Development Reports for all districts. You can collect the Human Development Report for your district and discuss the same with the students. Looking at the 'local' Human Development Report will make it more meaningful for learning.
