Introduction
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.

 The 17 SDGs & INDIA
Since 2015, the Indian government has launched several
effective and flagship programs to achieve the SDGs.

India has taken various actions in order to achieve all 17

goals and sustain its development. Some of the proactive
initiatives are the Swachch Bharat mission for sanitation
and cleanliness; and the green skill development
program, Namami Gange Program, CAMPA, and National
Mission for Green India, for keeping the environment
green. There are also national river conservation programs
and schemes on the conservation of natural resources
and ecosystems.

India is taking significant actions to implement the

approach of sustainable development.
Above all, India has always supported the idea of
sustainable development by engaging various
stakeholders.
India’s progress towards achieving
SDGs so far A recent analysis
published in The
Lancet has concluded
that India is not on-
target to achieve 19 of
the 33 Sustainable
Development Goals
(SDGs) indicators. The
critical off-target
indicators include
access to basic
services, wasting and
overweight children,
anaemia, child
marriage, partner
violence, tobacco use,
and modern
contraceptive use.
 SDG 1 (No Poverty): .
India has made significant progress in reducing poverty, with
the poverty rate declining from 21.9% in 2011-12 to 4.4% in
2020. The government’s efforts to provide financial inclusion
and social protection schemes have contributed to this progress

SDG 2 (Zero Hunger):

India has made progress in reducing hunger, with the
prevalence of undernourishment declining from 17.3% in
2004-06 to 14% in 2017-19. The government’s initiatives such
as the National Food Security Act and the Pradhan Mantri
Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana have contributed to this progress.
SDG 3 (Good SDG 4 (Quality
Health and Well-
being) : Education):

initiatives such as the Sarva Shiksha
Abhiyan and the Right to Education Act
have contributed to this progress.

SDG 5 (Gender
India has made progress in improving gender

Equality): equality, with the sex ratio at birth increasing from

918 in 2011 to 934 in 2020. The government’s
initiatives such as the Beti Bachao Beti Padhao and
the Maternity Benefit Programme have contributed
to this progress.
Recent findings by National Family
Health Survey
Multidimensional poverty declined: At a compounded annual average rate of 4.8 per cent per
year in 2005-2011 and more than double that pace at 10.3 per cent a year during 2011-2021.

Declining child mortality: There are some issues with the 2011 child-mortality data, but for each
of the 10 components of the MPI index, the rate of decline in 2011-2021 is considerably faster
than in 2005-2011.

Average decline in overall indicators: The average equally weighted decline for nine indicators
was 1.9 per cent per annum in 2005-2011 and a rate of 16.6 per cent per annum, more than eight
times higher in 2011-2021.

Consumption inequality decline: Every single household survey or analysis has shown that
consumption inequality declined during 2011-2021. This is consistent with the above finding of
highly inclusive growth during 2011-2021.
 INDIA'S G20 PRESIDENCY AND
ACHIVEMENT OF SDGs
The G20 2023 Summit theme, 'One Earth, One Family, One Future,' draws inspiration from the sanskrit scripture term 'Vasudhaiva
Kutumbakam,' highlighting the importance of global unity. It underscores the need for collaborative efforts to address the world's major
challenges, emphasising the consolidation of actions to accelerate progress on the SDGs. The theme also puts a spotlight on "LiFE"
(Lifestyle for Environment), advocating for environmentally sustainable and responsible choices, not only in individual lifestyles but also
in national development. This emphasis on LiFE encourages transformative actions worldwide, ultimately leading to a cleaner, greener,
and more sustainable future. The idea revolves around embracing a human-centric and pro-planet approach generating long term
positive effects, enhancing the overall quality of life for everyone, with a commitment to ensure no one is left behind.

Green Development Pact For A Sustainable Future

The G20 leaders approved a green development pact during summit to hasten the actions required to address the environmental and
climate change issues.
Gender Equality And Empowering All Women And Girls
The G20 reiterates that investing in the empowerment of all women and girls has a compounding impact on accomplishing the 2030
Agenda and that gender equality is of fundamental importance.
The goal of the G20 Association for the Empowerment and Progression of Women's Economic Representation (EMPOWER) is to hasten
the advancement of women's leadership and empowerment in the private sector.
 Conclusion
To make the process of sustainable development feasible and operational, it is important to establish a common focus that can integrate
the outlook and efforts of various participants in development, worldwide, realising the diversity, in terms of geography, society,
economics, level of science and technology capabilities and capacities and education standards/levels.

Developed countries need to change their production and consumption patterns, including by limiting the use of fossil fuels and plastics,
and to encourage public and private investments that align with the SDGS
.
⚫ Environmental commons-such as the atmosphere, rainforests and oceans-

must be safeguarded as crucial sources of ecosystem services and natural resources.

All stakeholders must work together to conserve, restore and sustainably use natural

resources.

⚫ The food system must undergo widespread changes to the infrastructure, cultural and societal norms, and policies that are supporting
the current, unsustainable, status quo.

⚫ The much deeper, faster and more ambitious response is needed to unleash the social and economic transformation needed to achieve
our 2030 goals.

⚫ A far more optimistic future is still attainable only by drastically changing development policies, incentives and actions.
