 NITI AAYOG – SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS INDIA INDEX REPORT 2018

The report has been released by NITI Aayog to measure India and its States’ progress
towards the SDGs for 2030.
Sustainable Development Goals 2030 or ‘2030 Agenda’ are a collection of 17 global goals
set by the United Nations General Assembly in 2015.
It is the First Baseline Report for 2018 and was prepared with the support of United
Nations in India to measure progress of States and Union Territories.
The index took into account 13 out of 17 goals specified by United Nation’s as SDGs
and left out four goals because of lack of data at the state level. Each of the 17 Sustainable
Development Goals are mapped with a set of 169 targets to be achieved by 2030.

Based on SDG India Index, States and UTs were classified into 4 categories under each of
the SDGs –
• Achiever – when SDG India Index score is equal to 100
• Front Runner – when SDG India Index score is less than 100 but greater than or
equal to 65
• Performer – when SDG India Index score is less than 65 but greater than or equal to
50
• Aspirant – when SDG India Index score is less than 50

Facts about the Report

• No State or UT was in the Achiever Category.
• Himachal Pradesh, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Chandigarh and Puducherry emerged as the
Front Runner.
• Assam, Bihar and Uttar Pradesh were the worst performing states and thus were in
the Aspirants category.
