Discussion
On its seventieth anniversary UNO have decided new global sustainable development goals and
targets even they declared that on behalf of the people they serve a historic decision on a
comprehensive, far- reaching and people-centered set of universal and transformative goals and
targets . They even commit to work tirelessly for the full implementation of this Agenda 2030. Even
they target to work in eradicating the deprived forms of culture customs and values which create they
unhealthy norms globally even they take a steps evaluate the equilibrium in between Economics,
social, environment together there is so many resolves and resolution whish sounds really nice but
some what if u not like’ Agenda 21’ then you really not going to like ‘the Agenda 2030’ which is
based on People, Planet, Progress there were 17 goals as per scheme published even in NITI Ayog
who attain the numbers of scheme and its application which definitely bring the rose to the society
and its derivatives.
The first and foremost objective of the agenda 2030 is no poverty since globally; the number of
people living in extreme poverty has declined by more than half from 1.9 billion in 1990. However,
836 million people still live in extreme poverty. About one in five persons in developing regions
lives on less than $ 1.25 per day. One in four children under the age five in the world has
i9nadequate height for his or her age. The all India poverty head count ratio (PHCR) has been
brought down from 47% in 1990 to 21% in 2011-12, nearly halved. Even the fastest growing
economy rate 7.5% in 2015 which increases by 8.5% in 2018 and there is around then also only 22%
are lived above poverty line the world bank reviewed its calculation criteria of poverty since may
2014 according to the revised methodology, the world has 872.3 million people below the new
poverty line of which 179.6 million people lived in India in other words India with 17.5% of the
world’s population, had 20.6% of world’s poorest in 2011. The Asian Development Bank estimate
India’s populations to be at 1.28 billion with an average growth rate, from 2010-15 at 1.3% in
2014.49.9% are age 15 and above are employed even than also 21.9% are still live below the poverty
line.
The next target need to meet the food security globally, the proportion of undernourished people in
the developing regions has fallen by almost half since 1990, from 23.3% in 1990-92 to 12.9% in
2014-16. However, one in nine people in the world today (795 million) are still undernourished. The
vast majority of the world’s hungry people live in developing countries, where 12.9% of the
population is undernourished. Asia is the continent with the hungriest people two thirds of the total.
The percentage in southern Asia has fallen in recent years, but in western Asia it has increased
slightly. Sub-Saharan Africa is the region with the highest prevalence (percentage of population) of
hunger. About one person in four there is undernourished poor nutrition causes nearly half (45%) of
deaths in children under five 3.1 million children each year. one in four of the world’s children suffer
stunted growth in developing countries the proportion rises to one in three. 66 million primary

school-age children in developing countries attend classes hungry with 23 million in Africa alone.
Agriculture is the single largest employer in the world, providing livelihoods for 40% of today’s
global population it is the largest source of income and jobs for poor rural households. In 1990, 53%
of all Indian children were malnourished. in 2015, malnourishment declined to 40%.even (NDC)
National Development Council in its 53rd meeting (held may 29, 2007) adopted a resolution to
launch a Food Security Mission comprising rice, wheat, pulses to increase the production of rice by
10 million tones and pulses by 8 million tons by the end of the eleventh plan (2011-12).the
revolutionary act passed in 2013 i.e. National Food Security Act, 2013 (also right to Food Act) is an
parliament of India which aims to provide the subsidized food grains to approximately two third of
India’s 1.2 billion people. It was signed in to law on september12, 2013 retroactive to July 5,
2013.the National Food Security Act, and 2013 (NFSA) converts in to legal entitlements for existing
food security programmers of the government of India. It includes the Midday Meal Scheme,
integrated Child development Service Scheme and the Public Distribution System. There is around
75% of the rural population and 50 % of the urban population are entitled for three years from
enforcements to 5kg food grains per month at (INR) 3;2;1 per kg for rice, wheat and pulses the state
responsible for determining the eligibility criteria. Even the pregnant women and lactating mothers
are entitled to a nutritious take home ration of 600 calories and a maternity benefit of at least (INR)
6000 for six months. Children 6months to 14 years of age are to receive free hot meals or ‘to take
home rations’ of the central government will provide funds to states in case of short supplies of food
grains.
The saying health is wealth is renounced its strength seems possible by this action plan if we talk
about the child health 17,000 fewer children die each day at present than in 1990, but more than six
million children still die before their fifth birthday each year. Since 2000, measles vaccines have
averted nearly 15.6 million deaths. India’s under Five Mortality (U5MR) declined from 125 per
1000 live birth in 1990 to 49 per, 1000 live births in 2013. Globally, maternal mortality has fallen by
almost 50% since 1990. In Eastern Asia, Northern Africa and Southern Asia maternal mortality has
declined by around two-thirds. But, the maternal mortality ratio- the proportion of mothers that do
not survive childbirth compared to those who do in developing regions is still 14 times higher than in
the developed regions. From a Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) of 437 per 100,000live births in
1990-91, India comes down to 167 in 2009. Delivery in institutional facilities has risen from 26% in
1992- 93 to 72% in 2009. India has made significant strides in reducing the prevalence of HIV and
AIDS across different types of high risk categories. Adult prevalence has come down from 0.45% in
2002 to 0.27 in 2011.
India has made significant progress in universalizing primary education. Enrolment and completion
rates of girls in primary school have improved as are elementary ratio in primary education (for both
sexes) is 88 %( 2013-14). At the national level, male and female youth literacy rate is 94% and 92%
respectively. And globally among youth aged 15 to 24, the literacy rate has improved globally from
83% to 91% between 1990-2015.enrolement in primary education in developing countries has
reached 91% but 57 million children remain out of school.
To achieve gender equality in India is on track to achieve gender parity at all education levels,
having already achieved it at primary level. As on August 2015, in India the proportion of seats in
National Parliament held by women is only 12%against the target of 33%.and in comparing to other
nation globally in 46 countries, women now hold more than 30% of seats in national Parliament in at
least one chamber. it also concerned about the sanitation and clean drinking water to all globally in
2015,91%of the global population is using an improved drinking water source, compared to 76% in
1990. However, 2.5 billion people lack access to basic sanitation services, such as toilets or latrines

each day, an average of 5,000 children die due to preventable water and sanitation-related diseases
There is approx 70% of water is used for irrigation .and around 15% is accounting waste in flood the
overall proportion of household in India having access to improved water sources increased from 685
in 1992-93 to 90.6% in 2011-12 and in 2012, 59% households in rural areas and 8 %in urban India
did not have access to improved sanitation facilities. Almost 600 million people in India defecate in
the open, the highest number in the world. Even the world is now shifting its needs towards
renewable energy resources_ wind, water, solar biomass and geothermal energy is inexhaustible and
clean. Renewable energy currently constitutes 15% of the global energy mix. Energy is a dominant
contributor to climate change, accounting for ground 60% of total global greenhouse gas emissions.
In term of India overall generation of electricity annually 7%(2013-14) and recently the ministry of
renewable energy are decided to establish a solar ultra park who generate around 20,000 mw
electricity from solar panels by 2018.
The next preamble is for full employment with skillful source and for career development also who
ultimately responded to national growth and prosperity since globally unemployment increased from
170 million in 2007 to nearly 202 million in 2012, of which about 75 million are young women and
men and nearly 2.2 billion people live below the US$ 2 poverty line and poverty eradication is only
possible through stable and well-paid jobs there is around 470 million jobs are needed globally for
new entrants to the labor market between 2016 and 2030.the small and medium-sized enterprises that
engage in industrial processing and manufacturing are the most critical for the early stages of
industrialization and are typically the largest job creators. They make up over 90% of business
world-wide and account for between 50-60% of employment the unemployment rate in India is
estimated to be approximately 5% at All India level(2013-14)India’s labor force is set to grow by
more than 8 million per year.
While rejuvenate the task of core performance for providing sustainable support and to promote
foster innovation there is around 2.5 billion people worldwide lack access to basic sanitation and
almost 800 million people lack access to water, many hundreds of millions of them in sub Saharan
Africa and south Asia Manufacturing is an important employer, accounting for around 470 million
jobs worldwide in 2009 or around 16% of the world’s workforce of 2.9 billion it is estimated that
there were more than half a billion jobs in manufacturing in 2013.India’s growth rate averaged at
7.25% in the last 5 years. in context of developing countries there is revolt always in equality so the
objective is to correspondence to reduce the inequality within and Among the countries on an
average and taking in to account population size income inequality increased by 11% in developing
countries between 1990and 2010.the Gini coefficient of income inequality for India has risen from
33.4% in 2004 to 33.6% in 2011.
Last but not least official development assistance(ODA) stood at approximately $135 billion in
2014in 2014, 79% of imports from developing countries entered developed countries duty-free the
debt burden on developing countries remains stable at about 3% of export revenue. As of 2015, 95%
of the world’s population is covered by mobile-cellular signal30% of the world’s population are
digital natives, active online for last five years. India has the second highest number of internet users
in the world; however, internet penetration in the country is 20%. Hence to deliver the objectives of
preamble of agenda 2030 it’s virtually seems a task to trigger the correspondence likewise in edges
of organization that uses a numbers of natural sources like land, water, soil, minerals, coal etc. and
return in the form of pollution , land degradation and other unsound commodities. Which not only
revive by putting economic and financial efforts a time to engaged the human resource provide
benchmark in there reviving strategies generally HR People like nature and environment so now

resources but also how to implement on an action plan who is economically spread extensively
likewise corporate social responsibility are witness under renounced organization such as Microsoft
who invest around 78% every year while Tata and its group working on social upliftment a day
before the CSR policy become necessary for every set-up it’s objective in upcoming scenario is to
make aware employers and employees with its applications and pitfalls to inclined the participation
of all ‘Green Bank’ established in 2009 current assets over $ 437 million as of august 2016 and it
has lent in excess of $ 305 million to local businesses and people in our committees. Global
Sustainable Development Report (GSDR) choosing target indicators and roadmaps related to STI for
the imperative of building knowledge based societies. India also takes steps under it like IREDA
(India Renewable Energy Development Agency) to promote and support financial assistance with a
motto of ‘’ENERGY FOR EVER’’.
Hence with the result of dictating the target of Agenda 2030 by UNO AND BY NITI Ayog who
almost triangle the fifteen years of performance needs to be flourished with a pace of duration other
than it subject to touch the ground reality the data reveals various appeals to uplift the societies not
nationally but globally also.
