India's SDG Struggle: Uneven and Slow Progress Casts Shadow on 2030 Deadline
The New Indian Express Thrissur
|March 01, 2025
India is falling short in nine of 16 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), trailing global averages and ranking 109th out of 167 countries, according to the Centre for Science and Environment's (CSE) State of States: Are We on Track to Achieve Sustainable Development Goals 2030, released this week at the Anil Agarwal Dialogue 2025.
The report, drawing from the Sustainable Development Report 2024 by Dublin University, NITI Aayog's SDG India Index 2023-24, and the Report of the Technical Group on Population Projections 2011-2036 by the National Commission on Population, paints a mixed picture for the nation of over 1.4 billion.
Tamil Nadu shines at third place with a score of 78 but lags in 19 of 108 indicators—18%—across 12 SDGs, reflecting India's broader battle to meet the 2030 deadline.
