• Pradip Burmans views on Karnataka ranked sixth
  in UN sustainable development

• Karnataka is the frontrunner in achieving clean
  water sanitation, life on land, peace and
  justice with a Sustainable Development Goals
  score of 66.
• Ranked 6th in the country in the SDG category set
  by the United Nations Organisation.
• According to the recent news Chief Minister BS
  Yediyurappa, who released the Strategies and
  Action Plan 2030 encouraged the officials to
  strive to do better in meeting the SDGs set by
  UNO. Mr Pradip Burman view the plan has been
  designed very innovatively, however the
  performance of plan implementation can be managed
  more effectively.

• The state has achieved a 52 on a scale of 100 for
  poverty- below the national average. The state
  also scored a 54, slightly above the national
  average of 48 in Zero Hunger goal. The report
  suggested a low productivity in agriculture.
• The action plan has given us an effective roadmap
  that other metropolitan and even non-metropolitan
  cities can follow up with. The living conditions
  of all people, foster a cleaner environment,
  ensure better health, good education and provide
  nutritional food.

• Chief secretary, T M Vijay Bhaskar said that this
  operation involved separate committees consisting
  of senior officials on achieving the 17
  UN-designated SDGs suggested by the NITI Aayog.
  Karnataka had secured 66 points to achieve the
  sixth rank as per the SDG India Index 2919
  released by the NITI Aayog. Efforts are being
  made to improve the performance in the areas
  where the states achievement was below par.
• I believe it is this sort of effort and
  consistency that is required to elevate our
  country and achieve at least some level of
  success in SDG development. This is something
  that is highly required. Only then can we expect
  significant amount of change and progress.
