Principle-
● The SDGs emphasize the interconnected environmental, social and economic aspects of
sustainable development by putting sustainability at their centre.
● Each goal typically has 8–12 targets, and each target has between one and four indicators
used to measure progress toward reaching the targets. The targets are either "outcome"
targets(circumstances to be attained) or "means of implementation" targets.
● The latter targets were introduced late in the process of negotiating the SDGs to address
the concern of some Member States about how the SDGs were to be achieved. Goal 17 is
wholly about how the SDGs will be achieved.
● Progress will require multidisciplinary and trans-disciplinary research across all three
sectors. This proves difficult when major governments fail to support it.
● Sustainable development can enhance sectoral integration and social inclusion (robust
evidence, high agreement). Inclusion merits attention because equity within and across
countries is critical to transitions that are not simply rapid but also sustainable and just.
● According to the UN, the target is to reach the community farthest behind. Commitments
should be transformed into effective actions requiring a correct perception of target
populations. Data or information must address all vulnerable groups such as children,
elderly folks, persons with disabilities, refugees, indigenous peoples, migrants, and
internally displaced persons.
● The objective of this practical is to compare the achievement of SDGs between different
countries. Students will be trained in data analysis and interpreting secondary data. Students
will be divided into groups and the data for indicators will be distributed among groups.
Some of these Sustainable Development Goals are-.
• Goal: Protect, restore, and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, manage
forests sustainably, combat desertification, halt and reverse land degradation, and halt
biodiversity loss.
• Focus: Protect forests, combat desertification, restore degraded lands, and halt
biodiversity loss.
• Goal: Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning
opportunities for all.
• Focus: Provide free, equitable, and quality primary and secondary education and
eliminate disparities in education access.
• Goal: Promote sustained, inclusive, and sustainable economic growth, full and
productive employment, and decent work for all.
• Focus: Achieve higher levels of economic productivity, reduce unemployment,
promote entrepreneurship, and ensure decent working conditions and labour rights.
According to the latest NITI Aayog SDG India Index which has found while places such as
Kerala and Uttarakhand consistently top the overall performance in SDG rankings, Delhi
features on the list of top performers of Union Territories, while Bihar is one of the states
with the lowest score.
Comparison between the three states: Kerala, Bihar and Delhi-
India’s efforts to meet the SDGs are coordinated by the NITI Aayog, the policy think tank of
the government. India has been actively working towards the achievement of SDGs across
all dimensions of social, environmental, and economic aspects. The different government,
civil society, and private sector efforts are now geared towards achieving the set targets of
SDGs by 2030. Here is a comprehensive overview of some key measures India has taken
concerning all various SDGs:
Conclusion-
In conclusion, the social development goals are an all-encompassing framework for the
delivery of all the world's biggest challenges: poverty, inequality, environmental
degradation, and economic instability. Such development will require international
cooperation, inclusive policies, as well as the commitment of everybody toward sustainable
practices across all sectors. India has shown very good commitment, with immense
progress toward the achievement of the SDGs, but conscious concerted efforts across all
sectors will be necessary to meet the 2030 targets. The new emphasis on partnerships,
innovation, and policy reform will drive the country toward working out its social,
economic, and environmental issues.
