🌟 Exploring Collaboration Opportunities: Bridging Government Initiatives with Social Impact 🌟 Dear LinkedIn Community, I am excited to share an opportunity for potential collaboration that could drive meaningful change in our communities. At PCI India, we are currently working on an intervention on FNHW (Food, Nutrition, Health, and WASH) in partnership with the Government of India. FNHW aims to address crucial aspects of rural development by integrating health, nutrition, and WASH interventions into existing government frameworks, particularly within the Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana- National Rural Livelihoods Mission (DAY-NRLM). Our initiative underscores the belief that healthy families, with assured food and nutrition security, and access to safe WASH, can become economically more productive. By aligning our efforts with government programs, we aim to amplify impact and foster sustainable change in rural communities. We are actively seeking collaboration with organizations, government bodies, and CSR initiatives that share our vision and are committed to driving positive social impact. Together, we can leverage our collective expertise, resources, and networks to make a real difference in the lives of marginalized populations, especially women and girls. If your organization is interested in exploring collaboration opportunities or learning more about FNHW, please feel free to reach out to me directly. Let's work together to create a healthier, more prosperous future for all. #SocialImpact #RuralDevelopment #CollaborationOpportunities #GovernmentPartnerships #FNHW #CSR CSRBOX CSR Projects | India India CSR Network @csr

India’s SDG Score Improves, But Inequalities Persist 🌍 India’s Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) score has seen a significant improvement, rising from 66 in 2020-21 to 71 in 2023-24. This progress is attributed to various policy measures, including the PM Ujjwala Yojana, Ayushman Bharat, and the National Food Security Act, which have positively impacted millions of lives. 📈 However, the report also highlights a concerning increase in inequalities, with the score for reduced inequalities dropping from 67 to 65. This decline is largely due to the inclusion of the Gini Coefficient, which measures income inequality. Despite this, the broader parameter of reduced inequality also considers factors like women’s participation in the labor force and crime against marginalized communities. ⚖️ Key Highlights: No Poverty: Score improved from 60 to 72. Multidimensional Poverty: Dropped from 24.8% in 2015-16 to 11.28% in 2022-23. Employment: Nearly 99.7% of persons demanding employment under MNREGS were offered employment in 2023-24. While the overall SDG score improvement is commendable, addressing the growing inequalities remains crucial for sustainable and inclusive development. Let’s continue to strive for a balanced and equitable future for all. 🌱 #SustainableDevelopment #SDGs #India #Inequality #PolicyImpact #InclusiveGrowth #SocialInnovation #NetZero #Agrifood #Sustainability #FoodSecurity #Maharashtra #techinnovatewithsushil Feel free to share your thoughts and insights on this important issue! 💬 OMLAS - One Million Leaders Asia Nelis Global Source : https://lnkd.in/gpG8u8xG

India's Critical Role in Achieving the SDGs: A Data-Driven Look (2023) India's role in the global effort to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is unquestionably critical. Here's why, backed by data from 2023: #Population and Economic #Powerhouse: 👨👩👧👦 Poverty Reduction: India has lifted millions out of poverty, reducing the poverty rate from 36% in 2005 to 22% in 2019. 📚 Education: With a net enrollment rate of over 90%, India has achieved near-universal primary education. #Healthcare: 1️⃣ Maternal mortality ratio (MMR) decreased from 178 per 100,000 live births in 2010 to 103 in 2017-19. 2️⃣ Under-five mortality rate (U5MR) declined from 69 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2010 to 35 in 2020. #Renewable Energy: India leads in renewable energy, aiming for 40% of power generation from non-fossil fuels by 2030. #Climate Action: India pledged to reduce #greenhouse gas emissions by 33-35% from 2005 levels by 2030 and achieve net-#zero by 2070. India still faces significant challenges in achieving the SDGs, including: 1️⃣ #Poverty: Despite progress, an estimated 22% of the population still lives below the national poverty line. 2️⃣ #Inequality: Wealth inequality remains high, with the richest 1% holding over 50% of the country's wealth. 3️⃣ #malnutrition : Over 18% of children under five are underweight, and nearly 35% are stunted. 4️⃣ #Gender Inequality: The female labor force participation rate stands at 18.6%, significantly lower than the global average of 47%. 5️⃣ #Access to Clean Water and Sanitation: Only 52% of rural households have access to piped water supply, and only 59% have access to basic sanitation facilities. The Way Forward: Despite these challenges, India's #leadership and #commitment, coupled with its vast resources and innovative potential, position it to play a critical role in achieving the SDGs globally. Continued progress on poverty reduction, education, healthcare, clean energy, and climate action is crucial for India and the world.

#Calling it a mission impossible is not an acceptable answer... will india be able to achieve #sustainabilitygoals ???? In 2015,193 Members of the United Nations agreed to 17 sustainable development Goals to be achieved by 2030... Incredible progress has been made to advance all 17 SDGs - from efforts to end poverty and hunger to improving water and sanitation to expanding access to technology and making cities more sustainable.Violent conflicts in different regions of the world are dominating the news; climate change is forcing more and more people to leave the place they call home; and a cost-of-living crisis has tipped millions of people into poverty.This is reflected in UNDP’s latest Human Development Index, which measures a nation’s health, education, and standards of living. #what new approach should we adopt?? 'We need to shift our thinking from ‘what is happening to me’, to ‘what is happening to us’.Achieving 17 very ambitious objectives can sometimes feel overwhelming. However, it is not about individuals having to address all SDGs simultaneously. Anyone person or community or business can commit to addressing one or more SDGs based on their priorities - ultimately enabling us to collectively address all of them over time. Also, Politicians and the government make sure that all those who raise their voice for change be heard clearly.. It is only people of india 🇮🇳 who can bring change, not the government nor the Politicians alone... It is the only people of india who will make india to achieve good rank in HDI(Human Development Index)report, ultimately to achieve SDGs.. #unitydevelopment #sustainabledevelopment #peopledevelopment #genderequality #developedindia

Whether facing pandemics, natural disasters, or economic downturns, rural communities exhibit unique resilience strategies tailored to their challenges. Amid health crises, innovative healthcare models and community awareness initiatives prove pivotal. Proactive disaster preparedness, early warning systems, and sustainable agricultural practices play a crucial role in mitigating the impact of natural disasters. Economic uncertainties find countermeasures in diversified income sources and access to microfinance. Central to resilience is the strong social fabric of rural communities, fostering unity during challenging times. Government interventions, technological innovations, and educational initiatives further contribute to crisis resilience, shaping a collaborative and enduring response. As rural communities adapt, learn, and plan, crisis resilience becomes an integral thread in their fabric, illuminating a path towards a more robust and sustainable future. #RuralDevelopment #CrisisResilience #PVTGs #CommunityDevelopment #CulturalHeritage #SustainableDevelopment #LinkedInForChange Professional Assistance For Development Action (PRADAN) Azim Premji Foundation Transform Rural India UNICEF India

NITI Aayog published the SDG India Index 2023–24 last week. Performance of various states in SDG 3 category (good health and well-being) #sdg #sdgindex #sdgindex2024 #sdg3

The release of the SDG India Index 2023–24 by NITI Aayog is a significant milestone in tracking the nation's progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals. The performance in the SDG 3 category, which addresses good health and well-being, is particularly crucial as it directly impacts the quality of life and the overall development of the country. It's encouraging to see that various states are making commendable progress, showcasing effective health policies and interventions. This progress not only highlights the successes but also identifies areas needing improvement, helping policymakers focus their efforts where they are most needed. The data from this survey can guide resource allocation, improve health infrastructure, and drive initiatives that promote healthier lives for all Indians. Overall, the SDG India Index serves as a valuable tool for measuring and motivating progress, ensuring that no one is left behind in the pursuit of sustainable development. Several states have shown notable progress in the SDG India Index 2023-24. Mizoram, Haryana, and Uttarakhand emerged as top gainers in terms of improvement over the previous year. These states have made significant strides in various SDG areas, contributing to India's overall advancement towards sustainable development goals. Mizoram improved its ranking due to enhanced healthcare and educational outcomes. Haryana's advancements in clean water and sanitation significantly boosted its scores, while Uttarakhand showed notable progress in affordable and clean energy initiatives [oai_citation:1,India records significant progress on Sustainable Development Goals - IndBiz | Economic Diplomacy Division | IndBiz | Economic Diplomacy Division](https://lnkd.in/gzdThbmJ) [oai_citation:2,SDG India Index_2023-24 | NITI Aayog](https://lnkd.in/gnHR7sTU).

Reflecting on India’s Journey Towards Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Despite significant strides in health and renewable energy, India's progress towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) remains slow. With a expected timeline of 32 years for completion by 2062 instead of 2030, the urgency and challenges in attaining holistic sustainability are evident. This is not a politically motivated statement but a reflection of reality, underscored by critical indicators such as the Global Hunger Index, Human Development Index (HDI), and Multidimensional Poverty Index (MDPI). Global Hunger Index: India's ranking highlights the persistent issue of food insecurity and malnutrition. Human Development Index (HDI): Despite improvements, India's HDI reflects the need for significant advancements in education, health, and income. Multidimensional Poverty Index (MDPI): A large portion of the population still experiences poverty in multiple dimensions, from education to basic living standards. For those displaying SDG icons and logos on their LinkedIn banners without a deep understanding of the background scenario, it’s time to reassess. This is not a matter of pride but a call for introspection and informed action. Sharing misleading facts or superficial support for SDGs only undermines the gravity of these challenges. To all professionals, especially those in top consulting firms like MBB, let's commit to genuine efforts and informed contributions toward achieving these goals. Let’s use our platforms responsibly to drive meaningful change. #SustainableDevelopment #SDGs #mba #India #HolisticSustainability #RealChange #motivation #Action
