Development is such a broad term with a little room for explanation; the scope of it is limitless. At times, development results in a chaotic life. However, when it comes to sustainable development, the end goal is different. It is to construct durable products while doing little to no harm to the environment.

What are the Sustainable Development Goals?

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015. These global goals are a universal call to action. It ensures to end poverty and protect the planet so that people enjoy peace and prosperity by 2030.The 17 SDGs are integrated. It implies that action in one area will affect outcomes in others. So, development must balance social, economic and environmental sustainability.

India, home to one-sixth of all humanity and holds the key to the success of the 2030 Agenda. India in its second VNR has made a shift to a β€œwhole-of-society” approach with the Government of India by engaging sub-national and local governments, civil society organizations, local communities, people in unprotected and vulnerable circumstances and the private sector.

India’s devotion to the Sustainable Development Goals is reflected in the national development agenda as reflected in the motto of Sabka Saath Sabka Vikaas (Collective Efforts for Inclusive Growth). Based on the evidence from the SDG India Index, which measures growth and improvement at the subnational level, the country has developed an effective SDG localization model based on adoption, execution and monitoring at the State and district levels.
