The Sustainable Development Goals or the SDGs as they are commonly known are a set of targets that have been universally agreed upon by all UN Member states to help end poverty across the world, protect the planet and improve the lives of everyone, everywhere. The SDGs comprise of 17 Goals and were agreed upon in 2015 as a part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, setting out a 15-year timeframe to achieve these targets.
What is India’s role in the SDGs?
India has played an integral role in the development of the SDGs. However, it currently ranks 117/193 on the Sustainable Development Goal Index. While the government has put in place various policies and measures to be able to meet its targets, you have an important role to play. Meeting the SDG target is not a one-man-job.
