How the exam will ask it

ಪ್ರಿಲಿಮ್ಸ್

  • NITI Aayog is a policy think tank established in 2015 that replaced the Planning Commission; it is not a constitutional body.
  • The SDG India Index is released by NITI Aayog to rank States and Union Territories on progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals.
  • Panchayats are constitutional local self-government institutions under Part IX of the Constitution (73rd Amendment); localising SDGs relies on their planning role.
  • SDG budgeting means tagging and mapping budget allocations to specific Sustainable Development Goals to track spending against outcomes.

ಮೇನ್ಸ್

GS-II/III: Localising SDGs is a federal and governance challenge, since most SDG-linked subjects such as health, education and sanitation sit with States and local bodies. NITI Aayog's State Support Mission, SDG budgeting and Viksit Panchayat push to align budgets and Gram Panchayat plans with measurable outcomes. The way forward lies in capacity building of panchayats, reliable disaggregated data, adequate fiscal devolution and regular outcome monitoring.
