The question refers to the first Indian state to have a Human Development Report (HDR) prepared and released by Nobel laureate Amartya Sen. The HDR is an analysis of the state of human development including areas such as education, health, and income.

Option 1: West Bengal - This is not correct. Despite being the birthplace of Amartya Sen, West Bengal was not the first state to produce a HDR under his guidance.

Option 2: Kerala - This isn`t correct either, even though Kerala has one of the highest Human Development Indexes (HDI) in India.

Option 3: Madhya Pradesh - This is the correct answer. Madhya Pradesh was the first Indian state to have its own HDR prepared and released by Amartya Sen, making it a pioneer in localizing human development reports in India.

Option 4: Andhra Pradesh - This is also incorrect. Although Andhra Pradesh has a substantial development profile, it wasn`t the first state to have its HDR presented by Amartya Sen.
