The overall focus of the document is identification of implementing strategies which ensure inclusiveness in the service delivery system built into it. The document comprises of detailed chapters on 16 Sustainable Development Goals. Goal number 14 which pertains to sustainable use of oceans, seas and marine resources has not been included in the document, as Himachal Pradesh is a land locked state.

The ‘elatively better health indicators comparizon with All Indio averages is indicative of the efficiency of delivery of health services. Himachal has the lowest infant, child ond under five morally rates omongst the north Indian states. With more than three fourths ofits children having been fully immunized, Himachal outperforms India and other northem states. The State has achieved the statue af being an ‘Open Defecation Free (ODF}' state in rural oreas, attributable to the Community Led Totol Sanitation Campaign and a shift away from @ subsidy oriented approach Investment in creating physical infrastructure has ployed an important part in raising the level of human developrnent.

There are the ‘High Mountain Horse Shos’ (HIMHS) mountainous districts (Chambo, Kinnaur, Kullu, Lehav! & Spiti, Shimla, Siemour ond Mandi) and the ‘Low Hills ond Plains’ (LHP) districts (Bilaspur, Hamirpur, Kangra, Solan and Uno). The LHP districts have been reported to ba more developed in comparison with the HMHS districts, inmost of the human development indicators. Most food grain production and industrial output comes from the LHP districts. Over the years, the HMHS districts have improved on the indicators yet the development process in these districts is slower due to the dificult terrain and climatic conditions.

The imperative is to decongest these centres by developing sotelite townships ond managing the provision of bosic services and amenities. Will tomorrow be brighter than today ? All the SDGs ore inter-linked and con be customized to local needs, yet retain their universal character ond monitorability. Himachal Pradesh has identilied the following areas, which require a focused approach for ‘achieving the SDGs. 1. Rapid growth with employment Ropid economic growth can generate employment and the resources required to provide social securily to the population of Himachal Pradesh. Invesiment both: public fond private, is needed to push the growth rate to 8.5 percent by 2022 ond towards double digit growth by 2030. ‘At the same time, the State must ensure that cll sections of the population are able to reap the benefits of economic grow. Increasing productivity of farming operations wil help in increosing incomes of formers ond that will quire smote investment in the agriculture sector. Considering the limited resource base in Himachal, partnerships with the private sector and with mutilateral and bilateral funding agencies will be of vital importance. Increasing investment will result in the creation of additional employment ‘opportunities. The sectors that have the potenticl of generating additional employment and of adding tothe tox revenve ore agriculture, horticulture, energy, tourism and infrastructure besides the services sector. In oddition, the high unemployment rate for women, particularly in rural ‘areas is o challenge thot needs to be addressed. By 2030, the employment pattem is expected to change, from the existing large proportion of unskilled woge ‘employment to skilled woge employment ond to self-em- ployment. With the assistance of the Asian Development Bank (ADB], an ambitious skill development programme is being implemented which cims to enhonce employability by provide sills, 0s per the market demand. A comprehen- sive training need assessment will provide insights ond inputs into the structure ofthe implementation plan With this focused opproach, the State expects to reduce the poverty ratio to 2 percent from the existing 8 percent by 2022, and eradicate poverty completely by 2030. 2. Ending malnutrition and enhancing agricultural productivity ‘The incidence of malnutrition is high, although less than ot the notional level. The proportion of children under the age ‘of five years who are undorwsight (weight for age) is 21.2 percent, Studies have established that mothers who ore Underweight, stunted and ongemic, have o greater risk of having underweigh! babies. The high incidence of anaemia ‘emong the women in the age group of 15-49 years (50-54 per cent) needs fo be addressed, 0s iti responsible for the high incidence of mainutiion among children. Other causal fectors for underourishment ore quality and quantity of food intoke; care for mothers and children and environmental heoth ond health services. It is important to ensure tht a full package of oll the services reaches every mother ond child during the first two years of o child’ life The mulidimensioncl ond intergenerational factors responsible for malnutrition need to be addressed simultaneously. The effectiveness and efficiency of implementation mechanisms of schemes like Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS), Integrated Child Protection Scheme (ICPS), Kishori Shakti Yojana, and Raiiv Gondhi Scheme for Empowerment of Adolescent Girls (SABLA) and Targeted Public Distribution System (TPDS) should be increosed to take core of nuttional requirements of children and mothers Extremely low productivity of agriculture is reflected in the fact that, while about 62 percent of people of Himachal are dependent on agriculture for earning their livelihoods, the cantibution of agriculture to GSDP is just 10.4 per cent About 88 percent of the land holdings in the State ore either of small or marginal formers; the average land holding siz is just one hectare. This restricts the scope of large scole mechonization of farm operations. The introduction of technological inputs to increase yield per hectare ond the diversification of agriculture are two major ‘oreos of thrust for enhancing formers’ incomes. Organic farming, protected culivotion and micro-irigotion ore other specific interventions 3. Improving quality of health and education services ‘About 70 per cent of the population seeks health services from the Government sector.

The health status of the population is o function of many factors - woter and sanitation, socio-economic status, education, agriculture, social and the work environment. In order to provide quali. ty health care ond services to the people, efforts by the Stote Government need to be converged in o focussed To ensure good core of the mother and child, pregnancies ‘re proposed to be tracked through the Mother and Child Tracking System (MCTS). Achieving universal immunization of children, oveilabiliy of Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS) ‘ond Zinc supplements with ASHA workers and the provision cf oral and injecoble antibiotics, oxygen suppor, broncho: dilotors and treotment of preumania up to the sub centre level will be ensured. Considerable reduction in HV incidence and incidence of Non Communicable Diseases (NCDs) wil be the focus of other interventions in the heolth sector. Having achieved vniversalization in primary and secondary levels of education, the emphasis will be on achieving 95 pper cent NER at the secondory level and 65 per cent NER in higher education. Achieving gender parity in enrollment inhigher education and 100 percent enrollment of children with disabilities will be one of the goals to ensure a more inclusive education system in the State. Effons will be made to improve proficiency level in terms of nationally defined earning outcomes at all levels of education. All teachers will be covered under training programmes to imprave the quality of education. Provision of skill education in all the eligible secondary and senior secondary schools and colleges os per the National Skill Qualification Framework (NSQF) will enhance employability. 4. Elimination ofall kinds of inequalities Keeping in view the pledge of the SDGs of leaving no one behind’ and os implied in the slogan of Sabka Sat, Sabka Vikaos’ (together with all, development for cl), 0s per the vision of the National Development Agenda, the State wll sive to eliminate all inequeliies through the implementation of development schemes ond programmes. This is not only restricted to persons belonging to diferent costes, tbes, minorities, gender but also. includes persons belonging to all age groups. Participation of all sections of sociely will be ensured in the development process to make it more inclusive ond sustainable. Their participation in the political process ond decision moking at all levels of governance will be ensured. Any incidence of discrimination or violence against the vulnerable sections of society will be dealt wth severely and strict action token ogoinst the persons responsible. Adequate judicial infrastructure will be provided to ensure {ick conviction of the accused persons.

Aquifer mapping ofthe entire Stole will be done withthe help of satelite imagery for eficient management of ground water. 6. Sustainable consumption and production patterns In order to pursue sustainable consumption and production pattems, the Stote Government will strive to shift policy emphasis in the notural resources secior from, ‘conservation opprooch’ to an‘effcient-monagement approach’. Sustainable pracices fo hamess more energy from renewable sources will also be followed, The focus wil be on enhancing forest density, fres! cover, watershed development and the efficient use of notural resources.
