India ranks 112th on progress towards United Nation mandated Sustainable Development Goals in 2023
India has improved its ranking from the previous year — it was 121st in 2022 with overall score of 60.3%— it still trails countries like Bhutan (61st, the best in South Asia), the Maldives (68th), Sri Lanka (83rd), Nepal (99th) and Bangladesh (101st). Pakistan is at 128th while Afghanistan is 158th
India has, with a score of 63.45 per cent, been found to be on track on parameters like “poverty” and “sustainable consumption”, and to have done well in “climate action” where its performance has not improved from the previous year’s, though — and “responsible consumption”.
However, india's performance has deteriorated on “reducing inequalities” and on “life on land” which relates to conserving biodiversity and where India is close to the bottom of the table.
