SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS
For all humanity living in the world to live with prosperity, peace and
partnership, for protecting our planet for the well-being of our future
generations, 17 Goals for Sustainable Development were determined, 169
targets were recommended for attaining the 17 goals and signed together
by 193 countries.
These goals have to be attained by the world countries by 2030. As
a member state that has signed this agreement, preparations are
undertaken in India to attain these goals. It implemented at the national
level by NITI Aayog. In Tamil Nadu it is being implemented by the Planning
and Implementation Department.

 NINE THEMES

An expert committee was constituted by the Panchayat Raj ministry

of Union government. This committee undertook extensive research at
national level to figure out how to attain the 17 SDGs at panchayat level
and submitted the report to the Panchayat Raj ministry. It has
recommended 9 themes including the 17 SDGs in the report. These
recommendations were need based, could be easily understood by everyone
and had many development plans integrated in them. Hence, they were
accepted and all panchayats in India were to take special efforts to
implement them. For this purpose, numerous training sessions, seminars
are being conducted.
The State Institute of Rural Development and Panchayat Raj under
the Ministry of Rural Development and Panchayat Raj, sent its lecturers and
district level trainers to participate in the Training of Trainers (ToTs) held at
the National Institute of Rural Development and Panchayati Raj at
Hyderabad.
The State Institute of Rural Development and Panchayat Raj has been
conducting Training of Trainers (ToTs) for district trainers who have been
selected by the district administration from all districts of Tamil Nadu.
Handbooks have been made for the theme-wise training that is being
carried out. In these handbooks, what the panchayats have to know
regarding themes like local targets, local indicators, what the panchayats
have to do and how to attain these targets, statistics needed, the theme-
wise Gram Panchayat Development Plan format recommended by the
Central government, the criteria for panchayats to get awards at national
level, the eligibility to win the ‘Uthamar Gandhi’ awards of Tamil Nadu
government and other related information have been compiled.
It is hoped that the panchayat presidents will use these handbooks
after attending the ground level training and undertake the needed efforts
to attain the local targets and indicators and receive the various awards
announced by both the Union and state governments and transform Tamil
Nadu into a leading example state in achieving the Sustainable
Development Goals.

 UTHAMAR GANDHI AWARD

Panchayat President plays a major role in development of the village from

preparation of plans, pooling resources, prioritising needs and implementing the
schemes of the Government to bring out the holistic development of the
Panchayat. He acts as an executive and public representative and also acts as a
bridge between the local people and various government departments. Therefore,
the development of a panchayat largely hinges on the leadership, enterprise and
ingenuity of the President who is the fulcrum for the convergence of all
programmes and schemes and last mile delivery of services.

The Honourable Chief Minister made an announcement in the legislative

assembly under Rule 110 to re-institute the “Uthamar Gandhi Award” from the
year 2022 to encourage Panchayat Presidents to lead from the forefront in the
development of their Panchayats and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.
This Award was earlier given between 2006-2010 and later discontinued. This
award will be conferred to one best performing Village Panchayat per district with a
cash award of Rs.10 lakh. The eligible village Panchayats will be selected based on
a standard set of indicators for assessing their performance in fulfilling Sustainable
Developmental Goals. The selected Panchayat President will be recognised to
motivate similar good practices which will serve as a model for the other Presidents
& Panchayats.

113
Having varied schemes, programmes and interventions being
implemented by each Ministry, it is essential that localization of
SDGs adequately takes into consideration of bringing in
convergence and working with PRIs in the implementation of
those programmes at the grassroots level, and enable the PRIs
to take ownership and play a vital part in achieving the SDGs.

The future of humanity and of our planet lies in our hands. It

lies also in the hands of today’s younger generation who will
pass the torch to future generation. We have mapped the road
to sustainable development; it will be for all of us to ensure
that the journey is successful and its gains irreversible. On
behalf of the peoples we serve, we have adopted a historic
decision on a comprehensive, far reaching and people centred
set of universal and transformative Goals and Targets. We
commit ourselves to working tirelessly for the full
implementation of this agenda by 2030.
