India likely to miss deadline for 50% of SDG indicators: Lancet study

The Hindu  

India is trailing behind in achieving more than 50% of indicators under the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals seven years before the 2030 deadline, according to a study published in the Lancetjournal on February 20. The study, which offers the first mid-line assessment of India’s progress for the 2030 Agenda, measured progress made across 9 goals by identifying 33 key indicators. “Because of a worsening trend observed between 2016 and 2021, and assuming no course correction occurs, many districts will never meet the targets on the SDGs even well after 2030,” the study noted, adding that the off-target districts are concentrated in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Bihar and Odisha. “Since the prevalence has increased for 3 of these, Anaemia among Women, Pregnant, and Non-Pregnant Women between 2016 and 2021, and assuming this trend continues, India would never be able to meet the SDG targets related to Anaemia,” the study added.
