A decade of sustainable development goals: India’s progress, challenges, and policy pathways toward 2030
Author(s): Kriti Singh
Abstract: The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), adopted by the United Nations in 2015, symbolize a global commitment to eradicating poverty, reducing inequality, and promoting environmental sustainability. A decade into implementation, India’s experience assumes global significance owing to its demographic weight, policy leadership, and development scale. This paper critically examines India’s progress in advancing the SDGs over the past ten years, highlighting its institutional frameworks, key policy interventions, and sectoral achievements in areas such as poverty reduction, renewable energy, education, and gender equality. While India’s progress reflects considerable achievements, enduring challenges such as inequality, climate vulnerability, and financing constraints continue to impede comprehensive success. The paper concludes that innovative governance, sustainable finance, and technological advancement will be essential in accelerating India’s pathway toward achieving the 2030 Agenda.
