Abstract

The Sustainable Development Goals are a bold pledge by leaders of the world to establish a global agenda that encompasses aspects of the economy, environment, and society. India as a UN member has approved the “Agenda 2030” comprising 17 goals and 169 targets. This study intends to measure India's progress toward the SDGs by evaluating the performance of all Indian States/UTs using the NITI Aayog's SDG India Index versions 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 produced in compliance with international standards. The findings of the study suggest a consistent improvement in the overall score of India from 57 in 2017-18 to 66 in 2020-21. This suggests a considerable improvement in state and UTs performance during the tenure. The study emphasizes that if nations have to adhere to the SDG goals by 2030, robust frameworks and indexes have to be designed and implemented in an effective manner.
