ABSTRACT
India is working towards the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. India also has its vision for Viksit Bharat 2047. This paper looks at what India has done far. It uses information from the Sustainable Development Report 2025 the NITI Aayog Annual Report 2024-25 and other recent studies. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals are very important for India. India wants to balance its growth with taking care of the environment. The findings show that India has made progress. For now, India is in the 100 of the global SDG Index with a score of 67 in 2025. India has done well in reducing poverty making healthcare more accessible through Ayushman Bharat and increasing its use of energy. However, India still faces problems in achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals in areas like Zero Hunger and Gender Equality. There is a change in how companies report on their impact. Now companies have to report on Environmental, Social and Governance issues through the Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting framework. India also has a plan to reduce its carbon emissions and achieve Net-Zero by 2070 based on the principle of Climate Justice and with help from countries. This paper concludes that while the government is doing a job of monitoring progress towards the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals more needs to be done at the level like in cities and towns to achieve the 2030 Agenda.
