The efforts of the government since 2014 have ensured better quality of life for citizens of the country, Ms. Sitharaman added.
According to the Center for Science and Environment’s 'State of India’s Environment Report 2022', the country's overall SDG score was 66 out of 100.
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, with its 17 SDGs and other components, was adopted by all United Nations member states in 2015, which provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet.
The 17 SDGs are an urgent call for action by all countries in a global partnership.
The decline in India’s net foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows, which have dropped almost 31% to $25.5 billion over the first ten months of 2023-24, is in line with the slowdown in such investments to developing countries, the Finance Ministry has said, while holding out hope for an uptick in investments this year.
