What is SDG?
• The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as the Global Goals, were
adopted by the United Nations in 2015 as a universal call to action to end poverty,
protect the planet, and ensure that by 2030 all people enjoy peace and prosperity.

• The 17 SDGs are integrated—they recognize that action in one area will affect
outcomes in others, and that development must balance social, economic and
environmental sustainability.

• Countries have committed to prioritize progress for those who're furthest behind. The
SDGs are designed to end poverty, hunger, AIDS, and discrimination against women
and girls.

• The creativity, knowhow, technology and financial resources from all of society is
necessary to achieve the SDGs in every context.
THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS IN INDIA
Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas, translated as “Collective Effort, Inclusive Development”

India is critical in determining the success of the SDGs, globally. At the UN


Sustainable Development Summit in 2015, Prime Minister Narendra Modi
noted, “Sustainable development of one-sixth of humanity will be of great
consequence to the world and our beautiful planet. It will be a world of fewer
challenges and greater hope; and, more confident of its success”. NITI
Aayog, the Government of India’s premier think tank, has been entrusted
with the task of coordinating the SDGs, mapping schemes related to the
SDGs and their targets, and identifying lead and supporting ministries for
each target. In addition, the Ministry of Statistics and Programme
Implementation (MoSPI) has been leading discussions for developing
national indicators for the SDGs. State governments are key to India’s
progress on the SDGs as they are best placed to ‘put people first’ and to
ensuring that ‘no one is left behind’. The UN Country Team in India supports
NITI Aayog, Union ministries and state governments in their efforts to
address the interconnectedness of the goals, to ensure that no one is left
behind and to advocate for adequate financing to achieve the SDGs

1. NO POVERTY

• There is compelling evidence that the rapid growth India has achieved following the
economic reforms initiated in 1991 has led to significant reduction in poverty. Poverty
has fallen across all economic, social and religious groups nationally and in all states in
the post-reform era. Sustained growth (6.2% from 1993- 94 to 2003-04 and 8.3% from
2004-05 to 2011-12) has created gainful employment and helped raise wages thereby
directly empowering the poor. It has also brought the government an increased volume
of revenues enabling it to sustain a high level of social spending and, thus, doubling the
direct effect of growth on poverty.
• Several large-scale anti-poverty programmes have been implemented. The Mahatma
Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, for instance, has generated over 2
billion person-days of employment during 2016-17 alone, largely for the disadvantaged
sections of society. Additionally, initiatives have been launched for providing pension and
insurance to workers in the unorganised sector, widows and the differently abled. Over 130
million people have accessed life and accident insurance under these programmes.

• Further, efforts are underway to universalise access to basic services. In order to achieve
the goal of housing for all by 2022, direct financial assistance is being extended to poor
households. Nearly 3.21 million houses were constructed last year as part of this initiative
in rural areas. Programmes are also being implemented for ensuring access to education,
health and nutrition security, with a special focus on vulnerable groups such as women and
children. Other priority areas are drinking water and sanitation. Currently, nearly 77.5% of
rural habitations are being provided with 40 litres of drinking water per capita on a daily
basis. Another 18.9% habitations have been covered partially thus far. Over 63.7% of
households in rural areas had access to an improved sanitation facility in 2016-17 as
compared to 29.1% in 2005-06. With respect to clean sources of cooking fuel, over 22
million families have been provided with Liquefied Petroleum Gas connections under the
Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana. Between 2005-06 and 2015-16, households having access
to clean fuel have increased from 25.5% to 43.8%.

2. ZERO HUNGER
• Significant progress has been made in improving food and nutrition security. For
instance, stunting among children less than 5 years has declined from 48% to
38.4% between 2005-06 and 2015-16. During the same period, the percentage of
underweight children has declined from 42.5% to 35.7%.

• The absolute levels of stunted and underweight children, however, remain high. To
address this, a number of schemes are being implemented. For instance, more than
800 million people are covered in India by providing the food grains at affordable
prices through the Public Distribution System. The Mid-Day-Meal vii Programme
is providing nutritious cooked meals to 100 million children in primary schools.
Additionally, food distribution governance is being strengthened through the
digitization of ration cards and an online grievance redressal mechanism
•Further, sustainable and climate-adaptive agriculture has been boosted by, inter alia,
promoting organic farming and issuing of 62 million Soil Health Cards to farmers. A
comprehensive plan is also being implemented for doubling farmers’ income by 2022.
