India is a signatory of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2030. Ministry of Panchayati Raj, Government of India along with other ministries is committed to the achievement of SDGs. This is being aimed through the mandated capacitation of elected representatives for good governance through participatory local planning at Gram Panchayat level.
Among the 17 SDGs, 9 goals have been identified where it is possible to achieve the targets at the grassroots level. Those 9 goals are – Goal 1 (No Poverty), Goal 2 (Zero Hunger), Goal 3 (Good Health and well-being), Goal 4 (Quality Education), Goal 5 (Gender Equality), Goal 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation), Goal 7 (Clean and Affordable Energy), Goal 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), Goal 10 (Reduced Inequalities), Goal 13 (Climate Action), Goal 14 (Life Below Water), Goal 15 (Life on Land) and Goal 16 (Peace, Justice and Strong Institution).
Localization of SDGs in rural India is to take root with the local self – governments – Panchayati Raj Institutions and community-based organizations. Taking a lead role, MoPR, and all Ministries joining together, there is a need to act on Localizing SDGs for achieving the objectives of SDGs in rural areas.
