This document summarizes a presentation on achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in India, with a focus on ensuring no state falls behind. It discusses India's mixed performance on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and lessons for the SDGs. Key factors that caused poor performance for some states on the MDGs included lack of economic growth, insufficient priority of resources for human development, inefficient service delivery, lack of basic infrastructure, and lack of gender empowerment. The document outlines eight policy priorities for lagging states to catch up, such as focusing on growth, prioritizing expenditures, improving service delivery efficiency, policy and institutional reforms, innovation, partnerships, and seeking central government support.

Advancing the SDGs at atate and district level in Indiasocprog
Presentation by Amit Kapoor, President and CEO, India Council on Competitiveness, on how state- and district-level Social Progress Indexes are being used to advance the SDGs in India.
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as Global Goals,
are a set of 17 integrated and interrelated goals to end poverty, protect
the planet and ensure that humanity enjoys peace and prosperity by
2030
Preamble : the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development
This Agenda is a plan of action for people, planet and prosperity. It also seeks to strengthen universal peace in larger freedom. We recognise that eradicating poverty in all its forms and dimensions, including extreme poverty, is the greatest global challenge and an indispensable requirement for sustainable development. All countries and all stakeholders, acting in collaborative partnership, will implement this plan. We are resolved to free the human race from the tyranny of poverty and want and to heal and secure our planet. We are determined to take the bold and transformative steps which are urgently needed to shift the world onto a sustainable and resilient path. As we embark on this collective journey, we pledge that no one will be left behind. The 17 Sustainable Development Goals and 169 targets which we are announcing today demonstrate the scale and ambition of this new universal Agenda. They seek to build on the Millennium Development Goals and complete what these did not achieve. They seek to realize the human rights of all and to achieve gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls. They are integrated and indivisible and balance the three dimensions of sustainable development: the economic, social and environmental.
The Goals and targets will stimulate action over the next fifteen years in areas of critical importance for humanity and the planet:

Prosperity …

This interactive document aims to encourage an in-depth and broad-based exploration of the links and synergies between the Global Goals for Sustainable Development and the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
It complements the 2-page document produced by UNICEF in January 2016 which presents a preliminary mapping of the current priority Global Goals indicators for children against the nine clusters of rights of the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
This detailed, interactive mapping aims to reinforce, but also to move beyond, the more obvious links between the Global Goals and the Convention - such as in the areas of health, education and violence. It assumes that all of the Global Goals are relevant for children, not only those which specifically refer to children. For example, Goal 9 (Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation) corresponds – amongst other things - to Article 29.1(a) and (e) of the Convention (education of the child shall be directed to the development of the child’s personality, talents and mental and physical abilities to their fullest potential and the development of respect for the natural environment), which is seen as essential to the fostering of innovation. Children have the right to directly engage in achieving the Global Goal targets, in terms of claiming their rights now, as children, as well as preparing themselves to take on more complex responsibilities as they grow older. A child who is 4 years old in 2016 will attain adulthood by 2030. Thus the distinction between child- and adult-specific Goals is very fluid.

Demographic profile of INDIA - Opportunity or ThreatVijeth Karthik
Demographic change in India is opening up new economic opportunities. As in many countries, declining infant and child mortality helped to spark lower fertility, effectively resulting in a temporary baby boom. As this cohort moves into working
ages, India finds itself with a potentially higher share of workers as compared with dependent. If working-age people can be productively employed, India’s economic growth stands to accelerate. Theoretical and empirical literature on the effect of demographics on labour supply, savings, and economic growth underpins this effort to understand and forecast economic growth in India. Policy choices can potentiate India’s realisation of economic benefits stemming from demographic change. Failure to take advantage of the opportunities inherent in demographic change can lead to economic stagnation.

The RRM is an accompanying document of the Regional Development Plan (RDP), along with the Regional Development Investment Program (RDIP). This contains statements of objectives with corresponding indicator framework for the various levels of results (goals and outcomes) to be
achieved under the Plan. As the Plan’s principal monitoring and evaluation (M&E) instrument, the RRM enables reporting on the progress of the Plan and allows for its subsequent assessment and performance measurements.

MDGs/SDGs are a veritable development tool that could transform the society by impacting positively on the generality of the people provided the operators are committed and focused. The MDGs/SDGs’ focus of human development coupled with the time-bound target makes them amenable to evaluation thus easily subjecting them to SMART test within the time frame. Since both the governments of the developed and developing countries are committed to MDGs/SDGs achievement by 2030, then SDGs become a tool that members of the civil society could constantly use to ask their respective governments to account to since they did not sign the 17 SDGs under duress.
This is a presentation used for explaining the importance and concept of Skill Development with respect to various issues addressed by the UNDP, OECD, ILO and India.

However, Pi Network has announced plans to launch its Testnet and Mainnet in the future, which may include listing Pi on exchanges.
The current method for selling pi coins involves exchanging them with a pi vendor who purchases pi coins for investment reasons.
If you want to sell your pi coins, reach out to a pi vendor and sell them to anyone looking to sell pi coins from any country around the globe.

The European Unemployment Puzzle: implications from population agingGRAPE
We study the link between the evolving age structure of the working population and unemployment. We build a large new Keynesian OLG model with a realistic age structure, labor market frictions, sticky prices, and aggregate shocks. Once calibrated to the European economy, we quantify the extent to which demographic changes over the last three decades have contributed to the decline of the unemployment rate. Our findings yield important implications for the future evolution of unemployment given the anticipated further aging of the working population in Europe. We also quantify the implications for optimal monetary policy: lowering inflation volatility becomes less costly in terms of GDP and unemployment volatility, which hints that optimal monetary policy may be more hawkish in an aging society. Finally, our results also propose a partial reversal of the European-US unemployment puzzle due to the fact that the share of young workers is expected to remain robust in the US.

5. Introduce policy,
organizational and
institutional changes
• Outcome focus rather than
sector focus
—Requires new coordination
arrangements
• Paying heed to cross-
cutting/thematic concerns
—Effective decentralization of
service delivery
—Heeding needs of poor,
women, deprived groups
—Encouraging participation
• Private sector
• Communities, civil society

16. Possible state strategies for the medium term
6. Foster innovation
—Example: use of ICT for telemedicine; virtual classrooms etc.
7. Expand partnerships
—With private sector
• Through better use of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funds
—Communities and civil society
16
17. Central Government support will also be critical
for lagging states
8. Actively seek support from national level
• There is strong rationale for Central Government role
—Unanimous commitment by all countries – including India - in the United
Nations to achieving SDGs by 2030
• This implies responsibility of Centre to support states achieve SDGs also
—SDG Goal 10: Reduce inequality between and within countries
• Inequality between states’ SDG achievements needs to be eliminated too
17
18. Several instruments exist at National level to
assist lagging states
1. Support lagging states through Centrally Sponsored Schemes and
Missions in critical SDG areas
—Similar to national missions in the MDG period such as NHM which proved quite
successful
2. Finance Commission should consider equalizing SDG achievements in
deciding allocation formula
3. More Central allocation of borrowings from international development
institutions (e.g. ADB, BRICS Bank, AIB, WB etc.) for lagging states
4. Central policy incentives for greater private sector participation in
lagging states
5. Central support in capacity development for lagging states
—Statistical capacity
—Knowledge and good practices

One of the major challenges in achieving the SDGs is to ensure that less developed states do not fall behind. I want to focus on that in my discussion.
The SDGs evolved from the MDGs and India’s final performance on the MDGs has been mixed, with very uneven performance across the various states.
The SDGs are going to be an even greater challenge as they bring a larger set of development objectives into play
Social – which is essentially the uncompleted MDG goals (red)
Economic – focusing on growth and basic infrastructure (brown)
Environmental – goal much expanded compared to the MDGs (green)
Residual – inequality, governance and means of implementation (black)
India did well on the goals relating to income poverty, maternal health, curbing deadly diseases such as AIDS, malaria and TB.
India’s performance on gender equality and environment has been mixed
Performance was unsatisfactory in education and child health
Performance also varied considerably between states – to which we now turn
NB. Composite Performance Index:
Each indicator for a state gets a performance index given by:
Sindicator = 1 – ((max – I)/( max- min))
Each state’s Goal Score obtained by averaging across all indicators in the Goal
CPI for each state constructed by averaging across all Goals
Numerous studies have linked growth as a major driver of poverty reduction (such as Dollar and Kray etc)
They help in achieving other MDGs too – although studies indicate that impact on non-income poverty is less than on income poverty.
However, growth is an important factor for all MDGs as this suggests.
Its contribution was neglected and now explicitly recognized under the SDGs
1. Unless resources are badly used, greater flow of resources towards the MDG outcomes resulted in better outcomes as this scatter shows.
The importance of this now stressed under Goal 16 of the SDGs –”develop effective, accountable and transparent institutions at all levels”
Importance of basic infrastructure neglected under the MDGs now rectified under Goal 9 which stresses development of basic infrastructure
