NORTH EASTERN REGION
DISTRICT SDG INDEX
REPORT 2023–24

II
The collective resolve to address development challenges across social, economic, and
environmental dimensions—while ensuring that no one is left behind—is more urgent today
than ever before. India has demonstrated remarkable resilience and unwavering commit-
ment in its pursuit of the Sustainable Development Goals. In this endeavour, our States
and Union Territories have played an instrumental role, championing SDG initiatives and
advancing a robust localisation model that reaffirms our belief in both cooperative and
competitive federalism.
The States of the North-Eastern Region are central to SDG localisation, given their unique
geography, rich cultural heritage, and intra-regional developmental disparities. Their
commendable efforts have led to the formulation of SDG-aligned vision documents, the
establishment of dedicated institutional frameworks, and the development of state-specific
monitoring systems—ensuring alignment with our broader localisation efforts.
To accelerate SDG progress and promote holistic regional development, NITI Aayog, in
partnership with the Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region and UNDP India,
launched the first-ever District-level SDG Index for the region in 2021. This initiative, shaped
through extensive consultation with all eight North-Eastern States, yielded invaluable insights
into the challenges hindering progress, while also illuminating opportunities to advance
sustainable development across the region. The positive reception of the 2021–2022 edition
has rightfully paved the way for this second iteration.

The North Eastern Region District SDG Index marks a significant step forward in localising
the global goals by translating them into region-specific targets and tracking progress at
the district level. Through data-driven governance, targeted interventions, and the facilita-
tion of peer learning among districts, this Index empowers States to respond more effec-
tively to local development priorities. These collaborative efforts stand as a testament to
India’s unwavering commitment to deepening SDG localisation and accelerating progress
throughout the region.
This initiative epitomises the spirit of cooperative federalism, bringing together the eight
North-Eastern States, NITI Aayog, and MDoNER in a unified pursuit of sustainable and
inclusive development. It also reflects the Honourable Prime Minister’s vision of Sabka
Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayas.
We gratefully acknowledge the valuable contribution of the UNDP team in India, whose
technical expertise, dedication, and consistent support have been integral to the design
and implementation of this initiative. Their partnership has greatly enriched the process
and is deeply appreciated.

Sustainable Development Goals are at the top of India’s development agenda and their
importance has been repeatedly emphasised by Hon’ble Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi.
With this vision, India has accentuated its efforts to realise the SDGs, bouncing back from
the adverse effect the COVID-19 pandemic.
The SDG framework requires effective mechanisms and decentralisation to solve environ-
mental, social and economic challenges. Sub-national entities have utilised the SDG India
Index Report & Dashboard to strengthen their statistical systems and policy formulation.
In the true spirit of cooperative federalism, the Centre and States are working in unison
to realise the Agenda 2030. The first edition of the North East Region District SDG Index
and Dashboard has steered districts of the North East Region towards better monitoring
of achievement of SDGs and this edition would encourage them further.
The North Eastern Region is the country's most socially and ethnically diverse region,
with each State having distinct traditions and cultures. This diversity is its strength and
provides many opportunities for sustainable development. I am delighted that the Ministry
of Development of North Eastern Region has taken the initiative to bring out the NER
District SDG Index and Dashboard in collaboration with NITI Aayog. This monitoring tool
enables States, Ministries and various stakeholders to measure progress and examine the
impact at a granular level.

NITI Aayog has conducted state-level capacity-building workshops to better understand and
realise SDGs. I applaud the remarkable progress reported by States and districts on SDG
implementation with the development of the State Indicator Framework, District Indicator
Framework, SDG Coordination Cells and review systems at the local level. These steps to
localise SDGs are paramount for achieving the targets.
I compliment the Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region and UNDP India for their
unrelenting support in bringing out this second edition of the NER District SDG Index and
Dashboard. I congratulate the NITI Aayog team for their efforts in preparing this report. I
thank all the State governments of the region for their cooperation and active contribution
to the development of this Index.

Message
The North Eastern Region, with its vibrant mosaic of communities, culture, and ecology,
stands at a pivotal moment in its developmental journey. Despite longstanding challenges
such as inadequate connectivity, difficult terrain, and developmental disparities, the region
continues to move forward with resilience and purpose. It is in this context that the NER
District SDG Index & Dashboard 2023–24 becomes a vital instrument of change.
This second edition of the Index, jointly developed by NITI Aayog, Ministry of Development
of North Eastern Region and with technical support from UNDP India, reflects our sustained
commitment to localizing the Sustainable Development Goals at the most granular level.
It builds upon the momentum of the first edition and incorporates feedback, better data
systems, and enhanced district-level coverage, with 121 of the 131 districts of the region now
included. The Index now draws on 84 indicators sourced from both central and state data
systems—a testimony to improved reporting and institutional collaboration.
The findings of this edition are encouraging. A remarkable 85% of districts now fall within
the Front Runner category—a significant leap from 62% in the previous round. This progress
is a direct result of targeted interventions, saturation-based approaches under flagship
national schemes, and robust local efforts in SDG planning and implementation across the
eight NER states. Many districts have shown notable improvement in critical sectors such as
education, health, gender equity, and access to water and energy. The performance on Goal
5 (Gender Equality) and Goal 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation) is particularly commendable.

Yet, the journey is far from complete. Certain goals such as Goal 10 (Reduced Inequalities)
and Goal 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) still show marked disparities across
districts. These require sustained focus and tailored strategies. The Index, by identifying
such gaps, offers actionable insights to guide interventions and resource deployment more
efficiently.
Importantly, the Index continues to foster a spirit of cooperative and competitive federalism
among the States and districts of the NER. Its expanded coverage and methodological rigor
make it not only a tool for benchmarking but also a roadmap for inclusive and sustainable
regional development.
I express my sincere appreciation to NITI Aayog and UNDP India for their unwavering
support in bringing out this updated edition. I also commend the efforts of the eight North
Eastern States for their valuable cooperation in data collection, consultations, and feedback.

The 17 Sustainable Development Goals lay out a bold agenda—to end poverty in all its
dimensions, drive inclusive economic growth, and protect the planet. These goals offer a
comprehensive framework to address some of the most persistent and emerging challenges
of our time, from climate change and inequality to public health and gender disparities.
For India, the SDGs are not just a global responsibility but a national priority. India’s lead-
ership in localizing the SDGs is a powerful example of translating global aspirations into
local action. Through this approach, states and union territories are tailoring the SDG
framework to their development needs—prioritizing goals, adopting relevant indicators,
and implementing innovative solutions.
A key enabler of this effort is the SDG India Index and Dashboard, developed by NITI Aayog.
It tracks and compares progress across all states and UTs, fostering evidence-based poli-
cymaking, transparency, and healthy competition.
India’s commitment to hyper-local monitoring is equally commendable. The launch of the
North East Region District SDG Index in 2021–22 brought district-level tracking to the eight
northeastern states. By measuring each district’s performance against specific targets,
the Index equips policymakers with the insights needed to focus efforts where they are
needed most.
This collaborative model between central and state governments has delivered meaningful
progress in the region—in areas such as renewable energy, poverty reduction, and digital
inclusion.

The latest NER District SDG Index 2023–24 builds on this foundation. It highlights achieve-
ments, uncovers emerging challenges, and provides a roadmap for action. It highlights
progress, identifies new challenges, and offers data-driven insights to accelerate action. By
spotlighting both high-performing districts and those needing more attention, it enables
focused interventions, efficient resource allocation, and inter-district learning. It also rein-
forces how local efforts in the Northeast contribute to the national vision of Viksit Bharat.
We commend the Government of India for its exemplary leadership in advancing
the SDG agenda. In particular, we thank the senior leadership of NITI Aayog and the
Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region for their vision and partnership. We
extend our appreciation to Shri Jyotiraditya M. Scindia, Union Minister for MDoNER;
Shri Suman Bery, Vice Chairperson of NITI Aayog; Shri B.V.R. Subrahmanyam, CEO of NITI
Aayog; and Shri Chanchal Kumar, Secretary of MDoNER.
I sincerely thank Shri Rajib Sen, Adviser to NITI Aayog, for steering this publication, and to the
state governments of Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland,
Sikkim, and Tripura for their strong commitment to sustainable development in the region.
At UNDP, we remain a steadfast partner to the Government of India, committed to support-
ing this journey through technical expertise, innovative investment, integrated solutions
and institutionalcapabilities. Together, we can ensure that no district—and no one—is left
behind in India’s SDG journey.

Acknowledgements
NITI Aayog has been consistently engaging with States and UTs for the adoption, implemen-
tation, and monitoring of the Sustainable Development Goals at the national and sub-na-
tional levels. The 'Indian Model of SDG Localisation', anchored in the core SDG principle
of ‘leaving no one behind', reflects India's relentless efforts towards the '2030 Agenda'.
NITI Aayog's SDG India Index has become the primary tool for SDG monitoring at the
national and sub-national levels. The North Eastern Region District SDG Index expands
the model to the district level to address the growing needs for reliable and comparable
data and supports evidence-based policymaking and targeted interventions. For a region
with such cultural and socio-economically diversity, as well as disparities, the NER District
SDG Index serves as a tool to fast-track the progress of SDGs at the districts in the region.
The second edition of the NER District SDG Index, developed collaboratively with the Ministry
of Development of North Eastern Region, State Governments of the north eastern region and
UNDP India, covers 15 SDGs and ranks 121 of 131 districts of the region. A notable achieve-
ment is the inclusion of 16 districts that were excluded last time due to data unavailability.
The Index is the first of its kind to measure regional progress through customised meth-
odology and metrics, highlighting significant progress in district-level data reporting. It
enables state-wise, district-wise, and SDG-wise comparisons and serves as a platform for
peer learning, mid-course correction, and better resource allocation.
We extend our deepest gratitude to MDoNER and the State Governments of Arunachal
Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim, and Tripura for their
continuous support, from consultations to data provision. The state-level workshops were
instrumental in refining this edition.

1. Overview
The North Eastern Region (NER) District SDG
Index, a collaborative effort by Ministry of
Development of North Eastern Region (MDoNER)
and NITI Aayog – with technical support from
UNDP, is the first of its kind progress tracking tool
for the NER, which is of critical significance to
the country’s development trajectory. The Index
measures the performance of the NER districts
on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
It is based on the methodology adopted by the
NITI Aayog’s SDG India Index, the principal and
official tool for monitoring progress on the SDGs
at the national and State/Union Territory levels.
The NER District SDG Index is aimed at enhancing
analytical understanding of sectoral issues as well
as data gaps while assisting in designing future
courses of action in the region. The first edition of
the NER District SDG Index Report 2021–22 was
released on 26 August 2021.
2. Introduction to the second edition
Enhanced coverage of districts: While the
first edition of the index covered 103 of 120

(86 percent) districts of the North Eastern Region,
this edition covers 121 out of 131 (92 percent)
districts.
Data: The second edition of the index has 84 indi-
cators. Out of 84 indicators, data for 41 indicators
is from various ministries/departments of Union
Government and data for 43 indicators is from
State sources. A significant improvement in the
district-level reporting to the Union Government
has been noted in the index.
3. Key findings and results obtained from the
second edition
Improvement in the overall performance of
districts: In this edition of the index, 85 percent
of the districts of the NER are in the Front Runner
category (overall score 65–99) compared to the
previous edition, where 62 percent of the districts
were in this category.
District-wise performance: The scores for the 121
districts ranges from 58.71 in Longding [AR] to
81.43 in Hnahthial [MZ].

Significant improvements have been observed
in the indicators linked to the National Family
Health Survey (NFHS) in sectors such as access to
clean cooking fuel, housing, electricity, sanitation,
drinking water, bank accounts, child and maternal
health services, schooling and attendance, birth
registration, unmet need for family planning,
health insurance, among others. This momentum
will be key to closing the gap with the national
average in the short and medium term and for
states to feature among the top states in the
long term. In this context, indicator level analysis
is crucial for identifying gaps and accelerating
progress in the short term and beyond. It would
also help in addressing intra-regional and inter-dis-
trict disparities to ensure that performance is in
line with or above the national average.
FIGURE C. STATE-WISE OVERALL PERFORMANCE COMPARED TO THE PREVIOUS EDITION
Overall, there has been an increase in the proportion of
districts in the Front Runner category from 62 percent in
the last edition to 85 percent in this edition. This signifies
the impact of the national flagship schemes coupled with
the localisation efforts of the states and saturation of
benefits through initiatives like the Aspirational Districts
Programme. The state wise performance based on the
composite scores of SDGs is provided below:

CONTEXT
& OVERVIEW
I

CHAPTER 1.1. Importance of SDGs in the NER
The SDG framework represents a comprehensive
global consensus on sustainable development
priorities, encompassing economic, environmen-
tal and social dimensions. It serves as a ready
reckoner for countries to formulate policies for
sustainable development with people and their
quality and ease of living at the centre as priorities.
For India's North Eastern Region, the SDGs hold
particular significance given the region's distinc-
tive ecological, cultural, and demographic char-
acteristics. The eight states comprising the NER
—Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya,
Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim, and Tripura—feature
unique geographical landscapes and are home
to diverse tribal communities with rich cultural
heritage. The central challenge for this region
lies in fostering development that enhances living
standards while preserving traditional knowl-
edge systems, cultural practices, and indigenous
lifestyles.
The NER District SDG Index measures the
performance of the districts of the eight States on
SDGs and their corresponding targets. The Index
is based on NITI Aayog's SDG India Index – the
principal and official tool for monitoring progress
on the SDGs at the national and State/Union
Territory levels and shares the common ethos of
benchmarking performance and ranking on the
SDGs to foster competition among the districts.
The implementation of the SDGs in the North
Eastern Region faces significant challenges rooted
in the region's unique geographic, economic, and
social landscape. Economic vulnerability stands as
a primary concern, with the incidence of poverty
(National MPI NITI Aayog, 2023) in the region
ranging from 2.6 percent in Sikkim to 27.79 percent
in Meghalaya, while the national average is 24.85
percent. This economic fragility is compounded by
heavy dependence on agriculture, particularly in
states like Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh, where
a significant proportion of the population depends
on subsistence farming that offers little resilience
against climate shocks. The limited access to
advanced agricultural technology, quality inputs,
and modern farming techniques further constrains
agricultural diversification and productivity.
The geographical characteristics of the region
–mountainous terrain, dense forests, and border
proximity, create natural barriers to industrial
development and infrastructure expansion,
particularly in the eastern regions of Arunachal
Pradesh. These constraints have led to a stagnation
in progress toward SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation and
Infrastructure) and limited employment oppor-
tunities in modern sectors. The interconnected
nature of the SDGs becomes evident as these
infrastructure and economic challenges directly
impact the region's ability to advance on SDGs
2 (Zero Hunger), 3 (Good Health and Wellbeing),
and 4 (Quality Education), areas where states
like Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Meghalaya, and
Nagaland show substantial room for improvement.
The social dimension reveals how these develop-
ment gaps affect vulnerable populations dispro-
portionately. Women and adolescent girls bear
the heaviest burden of health inequities, with high
rates of malnutrition and anaemia where poor
socioeconomic conditions and difficult living
environments compound health challenges.
These health issues diminish cognitive capa-
bilities and productivity, creating a cycle that
hinders economic participation and advance-
ment. These challenges directly impact progress
on SDGs 3 (Good Health and Well-being) and
5 (Gender Equality). Addressing these gender-spe-
cific health inequities is essential not only for
individual well-being but also for enabling full
economic participation of women in the region's
development.
INTRODUCTION:
SDGs AND THE
NORTHEASTERN
REGION (NER)
CHAPTER 1
3
CONTEXT & OVERVIEW

The environmental aspects of sustainable develop-
ment present perhaps the most nuanced challenge
for the NER. The region represents an ecolog-
ical treasure, accounting for 25 percent of the
country's forest cover despite comprising just 7.98
percent of the geographical area and housing 43
percent of all plant species in India. However, this rich
biodiversity is under increasing threat from unsus-
tainable agricultural practices like Jhum cultivation,
unplanned urbanisation and unscientific extraction
of natural resources. The region is already witnessing
alarming patterns of climate change with intensified
rainfall, frequent floods, emerging resilient pest
variants and steadily rising temperatures. According
to the India State of Forest Report, 2023, the North
Eastern Region recorded a decline of 327.30 square
kilometres in forest cover. These environmental
challenges directly impact the region's progress on
SDG 13 (Climate Action), SDG 15 (Life on Land), and
SDG 12 (Sustainable Consumption and Production).
Preserving the region's unique ecosystems is not
merely an environmental concern but has profound
implications for sustainable livelihoods, water secu-
rity, and disaster resilience. In response, all North
Eastern states have established climate change
monitoring cells, and states like Assam have intro-
duced policy measures such as a "green tax" on old
vehicles to encourage more sustainable practices.
The complexity of these interconnected challenges
underscores why the SDG framework is particularly
valuable for the NER, offering a comprehensive
approach that addresses these multidimensional
issues while recognizing the importance of preserv-
ing the region's unique cultural identity and envi-
ronmental heritage.
1.2. State Initiatives to Accelerate and
Localize SDGs in the North Eastern Region
Arunachal Pradesh
Arunachal Pradesh prepared its draft SDG 2030
vision report in 2016, with targets for most SDGs to
be achieved by 2019, 2022 and 2030. The document
is a comprehensive plan of action to achieve the
targets by setting baseline data and strategies to
achieve the SDGs. Government of Arunachal Pradesh
held its first SDG workshop in December 2018 with
UNDP. The Planning and Investment Division of
Finance, Planning and Investment Department is the
nodal department for implementing and monitoring
SDGs in the State, and the Secretary (Planning and
Investment) is the state nodal officer.
The Arunachal Pradesh SDG Dashboard is an effort
by the Department of Planning and Investment,
Government of Arunachal Pradesh, to track and
monitor the implementation of the different poli-
cies to achieve the SDGs. A geographic map and
heatmap feature have been developed on the dash-
board to facilitate the overall monitoring of the
status of SDGs in each district of the State. The
State has also launched the CM Dashboard with
E-Jan Bhagidari – a web portal and mobile app for
citizens' feedback and real-time monitoring of SDGs
as part of the 2022 budgetary allocation.
The state’s planned budget allocation is linked to
the SDGs, and every year, an effort is made by the
Finance, Planning & Investment Department to
review the outcomes of the plan funds and necessary
corrective measures are being made based on the
outcomes visible in the reports.
42023-24NER DISTRICT SDG INDEX

Assam
Assam was one of India's first states to adopt the SDGs
into its policy processes. In 2016, the Government
of Assam established a Centre for Sustainable
Development Goals (CSDGs), a dedicated think tank
that provides research and technical support while
also promoting awareness of SDGs among the stake-
holders and across all levels of governance. It also
guides all the departments of the State on matters
related to SDGs. In 2016, the state launched "Vision
2030", outlining the state's aspirations for holistic
development, with a strong emphasis on preserving
biodiversity as a foundation for both sustainability
and economic progress. Since May 2016, strategic and
action plans were formulated for each department
under the Transformation & Development Department's
guidance, culminating in the publication of "Assam
Agenda 2030" in April 2018. The document provided
a framework to achieve Assam vision 2030 with the
support of different stakeholders in the State, empha-
sizing the importance of the involvement of public
servants, citizens, communities, different tiers of the
local Government, and members of the civil society.
The Transformation and Development Department
serves as the nodal department for monitoring the
progress of the SDGs. To support this mandate, 10
working groups were constituted. Eventually, 10 work-
ing groups were formed to plan and follow through
with achieving the SDGs within the specified time
period. In February 2020, the state published its
comprehensive State Indicator Framework and District
Indicator Framework.
In January 2023, the T&D Department established
a Project Management Unit (PMU) emphasizing the
state's commitment to effective implementation.
Throughout 2023, sensitization sessions, consultations,
and data cleaning processes were conducted, culmi-
nating in the Assam SDG State Indicator Framework
1.0, offering a comprehensive strategy for monitoring
progress and fostering holistic development aligned
with Target 2030. The report encompasses data for
the baseline year (2019-20) and the current year
(2022-23) for 267 indicators with targets for 2030. It
serves as a vital tool for the state to assess its progress
across 16 out of 17 SDGs (excluding Goal 14) over the
specified time period.
Assam has introduced many innovative schemes at
the local level to accelerate the SDGs. For example,
the Chief Minister's Atmanirbhar Asom Abhiyan aims
to generate employment opportunities in the state
through the setting up of new entrepreneurial ventures.
The Chief Minister's Samagara Gramya Unnayan
Yoajana Samagra Gramya Unnayan Yojana (CMSGUY,
also known as the Integrated Village Development
Programme), is an initiative aimed at the holistic devel-
opment of villages, and the programme is expected
to help the State achieve several of the Global Goals.
The Government of Assam has identified 270 state
indicators and 142 district indicators based on MoSPI's
guidelines. An SDG Strategy Support Group (SSSG)
was set up to support strategic thinking and integrated
implementation and oversee SDG-related activities
such as data collection and analysis. SSSG is chaired
by the Chief Secretary of the State, with key state
Government officials as members.
Manipur
Manipur developed its Vision 2030 document:
"Ensuring no one is left behind", in 2019, by consid-
ering the developmental needs and aspirations of the
State. Preparing the preliminary draft vision document
for Manipur was entrusted to the Centre for Study of
Social Exclusion and Inclusive Policy (CSSEIP) under
Manipur Central University. The Planning Department
is the nodal department for implementing SDGs in the
State. UNDP also collaborated with the Government
of Manipur on finalising the Vision Document.
Three committees have been constituted at the state
and district levels to monitor and implement the poli-
cies and programmes to achieve the SDG vision. The
Chief Secretary chairs the State Committee on SDGs,
and it monitors the targets, goals and achievements
of the SDGs biannually. The inter-departmental work-
ing group is chaired by the Administrative Secretary
(Planning), and its role is to carry out mapping and
re-aligning targets of the various centrally sponsored
schemes in line with the goals of the SDGs, as well
as to develop a suitable State Indicator Framework
in line with the National Indicator Framework. The
district-level working group is the third committee
and is chaired by the Deputy Commissioner of each
district. The function of this committee is to re-align
targets and monitor achievements of the targets and
goals at the field level.
The Planning department of the Government of
Manipur has also developed the State Indicator
Framework, which includes 15 SDGs with 108 indica-
tors. The Government of Manipur has encouraged the
participation of all relevant stakeholders in framing
policies for achieving the vision of the SDGs in the
State. Manipur University has organised state level
consultations involving nodal officers from about 35
departments. Public consultations were also organised
to bring on board members of civil society, academia
and citizens to understand the needs of the people at
the grassroots and to rank the SDGs in order of priority.
5
CONTEXT & OVERVIEW

Meghalaya
The Government of Meghalaya formed an SDG cell at the
State level in 2018 to coordinate the preparation of the
draft "Meghalaya Vision 2030" document and the imple-
mentation of SDGs in the State. The nodal department
for implementation and monitoring of the SDGs is the
Planning Department. Meghalaya has developed its SDG
monitoring framework along the lines of MoSPI's indicator
framework. The State Indicator Framework consists of
195 indicators, of which data for 130 indicators are also
included in the District Indicator Framework and 29 Block
Level Indicators.
In November 2024, an SDG Localisation kick-off work-
shop was conducted in Meghalaya organized by NITI
Aayog, the Government of Meghalaya and GIZ under the
Green and Sustainable Development Partnership (GSDP)
Support Project. The GSDP-NITI project aims to enhance
the implementation and monitoring of SDGs at the sub-
national level through setting up SDG Acceleration Centre
in States. In this event, the Government of Meghalaya has
launched its application and data dashboard to facilitate
sustainable way of data collection. The mobile application
allows stakeholders to easily access and input SDG related
data. Simultaneously, the collected data is available for
further use through a well-designed district-wise dash-
board. Integrated within the Chief Minister’s overarching
dashboard, it reflects progress and composite scores for
all 12 districts. The Hon’ble Chief Minister of Meghalaya
announced, “CM Catalytic Fund Phase 2” in November
2024 building on the success of Phase 1, which saw a
yearly disbursement of INR 10 crores in financial support
to districts for improvement of SDGs.” This fund, designed
to address financial constraints at the grassroots level,
signifies a departure from the traditional tied-fund model.
During phase II, districts that fall into the large and small
district categories would receive a yearly allocation of
₹ 12 crores. This fund comes in the form of ₹ 4 crores in
performance-based incentives and ₹ 8 crores in untied
funds. It empowers DCs to initiate projects and interven-
tions tailored to the needs of the districts. By doing so, the
initiative aims not only to alleviate financial constraints but
also to catalyze a bottom-up approach towards enhancing
SDG performance. In 2022, the Government of Meghalaya
set aside INR 9,182 crores for funding SDGs as part of its
annual budget for 2022–23. The DC Connect platform
has also been launched to track grassroots progress,
address grievances, and monitor key development metrics
through real-time dashboards. Districts are ranked quar-
terly, with top Performers receiving additional incentives
of up to ₹ 25 lakh (large districts) and ₹ 12.5 lakh (small
districts), ensuring accountability and fostering impactful
interventions.
Mizoram
Mizoram adopted State Vision 2030, a document which
outlines the targets, strategies and budgetary allocations
to achieve the SDGs in the State. The vision document
has set targets for 2019–20, 2024–25 and 2029–30. The
Planning & Programme Implementation Department is
the Nodal Department for implementing the SDGs. The
Government has set up different bodies and committees
to monitor the implementation of the policies at different
levels. The Chief Secretary chairs the high-level moni-
toring committee to review and monitor progress. The
technical committee on SDGs is chaired by the Director
of the Economics & Statistics Department to identify indi-
cators and update data on the progress made on SDGs.
All Nodal Officers of Line Departments are members of
this technical committee. An SDG Cell has been set up
in the Research & Development Branch of the Planning
& Programme Implementation Department headed by
the Principal Adviser.
The Government of Mizoram has developed the
Consolidated Indicator Framework (CIF) comprising of
93 indicators to monitor the progress of 11 districts on
SDGs. The District Planning Committee (DPC), chaired
by the Deputy Commissioner, monitors and reviews the
progress of implementation of the SDGs at regular inter-
vals. The Village Level Monitoring Committee, chaired by
the President/Chairperson of the Village Council or Local
council, is the local layer of the monitoring framework
in Mizoram and is responsible for monitoring the SDGs
implementation at the village level.
The SDG website for Mizoram, under the Planning &
Programme Implementation Department, is an online
platform that allows users to access the SDG vision for
the State, essential documents and state policies on SDGs,
the latest state and district indicator frameworks and
the initiatives undertaken by the Government to achieve
the SDGs in the State. The state has released a report
on ‘Localisation of Sustainable Development Goals in
Mizoram’ in August 2023. The state government has part-
nered with UNDP and has developed an SDG Dashboard
for monitoring of SDGs at state, village, ULB and village
levels which was launched in 2024. In November 2024,
the Government of Mizoram, in partnership with UNDP
organised a consultation on accelerating sustainable
development in Mizoram with CSOs and CSR entities in
Bangalore to network and create partnerships with poten-
tial partners for fast-tracking sustainable development
in the state. The Government in partnership with UNDP
is also in the process of creating a CSR Matchmaking
Platform to facilitate the same.
Nagaland
The Government of Nagaland launched the "Nagaland SDG
vision 2030" and "District SDG Localisation and Integration
Manual" in 2021. The document contains state-specific
short, medium and long-term targets with measurable
indicators and strategies that the State should adopt
to meet the developmental aspirations of the State and
62023-24NER DISTRICT SDG INDEX

the needs of the people while embracing sustainability.
It has also finalised the State Indicator Framework with
125 indicators and the District Indicator Framework with
130 indicators.
The Planning & Coordination Department is the nodal
department for SDGs. The State has also established
a High-Level Steering Committee headed by the Chief
Secretary for monitoring, policy review and course correc-
tion. The State has set up a Sustainable Development
Goals Coordination Centre (SDGCC) under the Planning
and Coordination Department, with the support of UNDP,
to streamline and coordinate the different departmental
activities and provide a more holistic environment for
the Government to carry out activities related to the
SDGs. SDG cells have also been created in all the related
departments, and a nodal officer has been nominated to
monitor the progress.
The SDG Coordination Centre (SDGCC), under the
Government of Nagaland has hosted ‘SDG One Stop
Destination’ – an immersive experience for increased
awareness on SDGs at the annual Hornbill Festival since
2021. The inclusion of 'Interaction with Differently Abled
Children' as part Hornbill Festival 2023 significantly
contributed to fostering inclusivity and deepening the
understanding of diverse abilities. The state also hosts SDG
Action Awards. This Award seeks individuals, organisations,
and institutions that inspire, empower and connect people
to drive action towards a more sustainable future through
their actions. The state organises several events like SDG
poster making, essay competitions and online quizzes to
sensitise the youth on SDGs. The SDGCC Nagaland annu-
ally organises SDG Innovation and Participatory Action
Research initiative to scale up grassroot innovations for
strengthening SDG localisation. The SDGCC has also
developed the Nagaland SDG Dashboard to track the
progress of the state and its districts on the indicators
under each SDG. In 2024, the SDGCC Nagaland released
a coffee table book titled “Weaving Dreams-a tribute
to the Inspiring Women of Nagaland”, celebrating the
contributions of 21 pioneering women of the state in
various fields of development, showcasing Nagaland’s
commitment towards Gender Equality.
Sikkim
Sikkim has developed and adopted its SDG Vision 2030,
which has identified the challenges, opportunities, and
strategies to meet the SDGs. The paper draws attention to
sustainable consumption, market expansion and livelihood
development, with a particular emphasis on sustainable
tourism, health and education.
The Planning and Development Department is the nodal
Department for the implementation of the SDGs, and the
Directorate of Economics, Statistics & Monitoring within
the Planning and Development Department is the nodal
Department for monitoring SDG implementation, report-
ing the progress on SDGs and identifying areas which
require mid-course corrections. The State has prepared
its State Indicator Framework based on 14 relevant SDGs.
The Government of Sikkim has involved various stake-
holders in discussions and consultations on SDG policies.
Subsequently, it outlined the concerns of the community
and industrialists and ways to mitigate and address them.
The Government also released "The Sikkim Action Plan
on Climate Change" report, which outlined the threats
to Sikkim's biodiversity and rural communities because
of climate change, and proposed actions to be taken to
address the challenges.
Tripura
In 2019, Tripura adopted its 2030 Vision Document. The
Planning (Economics & Statistics) Department is the
nodal agency in the State for SDG implementation in the
State. Tripura has four Working Groups for SDGs – social;
economic; environmental; peace, justice and partnership.
The State government has accorded highest priority for
development efforts in infrastructure, connectivity, agricul-
ture, safe drinking water, power, health and education. The
Planning Department is tasked to bring all departments
together in achieving the Goals and targets.
Tripura finalised its State Indicator Framework compris-
ing of 172 indicators and District Indicator Framework
comprising of 79 indicators in February 2020. The high-
level monitoring committee chaired by the Chief Secretary
streamlines the activities of all the State departments
of the Government to achieve the SDGs. This reflects a
"whole-of-government" approach for sustainable devel-
opment in the State. The State has spread awareness
about SDGs to the districts and panchayats. The Planning
Department has compiled the best practices covering
all major development sectors to achieve the SDGs.
The State is also taking steps to set aside resources for
SDG-based developmental projects. A vital feature of the
vision document of the State of Tripura is its emphasis on
"leaving no one behind", aligned with the foundational
vision of the SDGs and is creating specific strategies for
the scheduled tribe population in the State.

2.1. Introducing the second NER SDG
Index – process, consultations with
the States
The successful uptake of the first edition of
the NER District SDG Index has resulted in the
preparation of the second edition. Following
the consultative process involving government
officials from eight states for the first NER SDG
Index, NITI Aayog took several steps to intensify
engagement from all eight North East States for
the second edition as well. These include:

Actively sought feedback and clarifications
on queries on the NER District Indicator
Framework from all eight NER States;

Organised eight in-person SDG consulta -
tions in collaboration with UNDP and the
respective State Governments across State
capitals of the NE States to address State
specific challenges and to encourage greater
engagement and discussion with various State
departments; and

Supported all the North-Eastern states in
developing capacity to collate information
and progress monitoring.
The consultations were highly participatory and
chaired by the Chief Secretary or Additional Chief
Secretary of the State with representatives from
State Government departments and the district
administration. During these consultations, officials
were briefed on the NER District SDG Index and
their State performance in the previous edition,
highlighting data gaps, resolving data discrep-
ancies and receiving feedback on the proposed
indicators. The state-wise consultations provided
a space for direct interaction and deliberation
between NITI Aayog, UNDP and the concerned
State and district-level officials for fast resolution
of any data-related issues to ensure quality and
reliable data. It provided a space for the resolu-
tion of data issues, addressing State-specific data
challenges, especially definitional challenges and
data periodicity. As a result, States could provide
reliable, timely and quality data.
Consequently, the States shared data, and the
resolution of any challenge that arose was
addressed by coordinating with the concerned
departments of the State Government. Following
this process, Goal-wise and composite district
scores and rankings were computed. Subsequently,
deliberations were held between NITI Aayog and
MDoNER and the report writing, preparation, and
review were undertaken.
The second edition of the NER District SDG
Index adopts a more participatory and inclusive
approach, fostering greater ownership of the SDGs
among State departments and governments. This
process has enabled better data reporting and
timely data collection.
The Index provides an overall view of the social,
economic and environmental aspects of the NER,
while reflecting the progress made by the states
and their districts. Despite a history of under-
development, political uncertainties, insurgency
and emerging ecological concerns, the NER is
striving to do well. The North-East focused SDG
Index will closely monitor the efforts and achieve-
ments and highlight critical gaps in the region and

serve as a helpful trigger for ramping up targeted
development initiatives by the Central and State
Governments.
2.2. Objectives
The objectives of the NER SDG Index 2.0 are to:

Rank the districts of the eight NER States
based on their relative performance across
the 15 SDGs (excluding Goal 14 which is not
applicable and Goal 17 for its limited applica-
bility at the district level).

Identify critical gaps and challenges in perfor-
mance and achievements to strategize neces-
sary corrective measures.

Highlight intra-state and inter-state disparities
across the eight states, facilitating the design
of suitable interventions.

Promote competitive federalism by enabling
state-wise, district-wise, and SDG-wise
comparisons. The ranking system also serves
as a valuable tool for peer learning and perfor-
mance improvement.

Create a platform for collaboration and enable
districts to share and adopt best practices
from their peers.

Identify data gaps in the statistical system
of the States and the sectors in which robust
and more frequent data collection needs to
be instituted.
2.3. Selection of indicators
As the first step, suitable indicators from the
National Indicator Framework, SDG India Index,
and the State Indicator Framework developed
by each North Eastern State were identified and
mapped with the targets. Guided by these indi-
cator frameworks and based on extensive consul-
tations with all eight NER States, NITI Aayog
prepared a list of 84 indicators, refining them
wherever needed to aid comparison. To determine
suitable metrics for inclusion in the Index, techni-
cally sound indicators based on valid quantitative
criteria were chosen that had:
i. Relevance to the SDG targets
ii. Alignment with the NIF, SDG India Index, and
the SIFs of the NER States
iii.
Data availability at the district level for most
of the 131 districts, from the official statistical
systems
iv.
The consent of the respective State
departments
v.
Data ownership, either administrative minis-
tries/departments at the Centre, survey-de-
rived, or by the line departments in the States
vi.
Due to prevailing data gaps, a threshold of
data availability of at least 80 percent of the
State-reported indicators for any given district
was taken as the benchmark for the computa-
tion of scores. Districts that reported data for
less than this number have been mentioned
but not included in the ranking scheme, to
avoid giving any undue advantage to them.
Therefore, 121 out of the total 131 districts have
been considered for computation and ranking.
All the States, especially with newly created
districts, are encouraged to report the data for
all possible indicators in the future for maxi-
mum utility of the Index.
vii.
Sufficient data coverage, such as data for at
least 70 percent of the districts is available for
any given indicator based on its applicability.
2.4. Target setting
A suitable target value for 2030 was set for each
indicator in one of the following ways:
i.
Identifying a quantifiable national target spec-
ified by the Government of India or
ii.
Selecting a quantifiable target specified under
the SDG framework for 2030 or
iii.
Determining a quantifiable target accepted
scientifically or set by technical standards or
iv.
Computing the average of the values from
the top five scores of the base year (year
2015 or NER SDG Index 2021-22, whichever
is available).
2.5. Normalisation of raw indicator values
Normalising indicator values to a standard scale of
0 to 100 was necessary to ensure comparability,
as different indicators had different ranges of
values. For instance, while Infant Mortality Rate
(IMR) is per 1,000 live births, the poverty rate
is measured as a percentage. In the normalised
range of 0 to 100, where 0 indicates the lowest
142023-24NER DISTRICT SDG INDEX

performance and 100 implies that the target has
been achieved.
For indicators where a higher value means better
performance, for example, the proportion of insti-
tutional deliveries, the following formula was used:
Where, x = raw data value
min(x) = minimum observed value of the indicator
in the dataset
T(x) = target value for the indicator
x’ = normalised value after rescaling
For indicators where the higher value implies
lower performance, for instance, IMR, the following
formula was used:
Where, x = raw data value
max(x) = maximum observed value of the indi-
cator in the dataset
T(x) = target value for the indicator
x’ = normalised value after rescaling
Where the districts had achieved beyond the
target set, the normalised score was capped at 100.
2.6. Computation of district scores
Post normalisation of values, the district-wise
score for each Goal was computed. According to
the following formula, this was estimated as the
arithmetic mean of the normalised values of all
indicators under the Goal for each district. Equal
weight was assigned to each indicator.
Where Iij= Goal score for district i under SDG j
Nij= number of non-null indicators for district I
under SDG j
Iijk= normalised value for district i of indicator k
under SDG j
The Goal score Iij for district i under Goal j was then
computed. Based on the Goal score, the districts
were classified into four categories under each
Goal. Achiever: when the Index score equals 100;
Front Runner: when the Index score is between
65 and 100, excluding 100; Performer: when the
Index score is between 50 and 65, excluding 65;
Aspirant: when the Index score is less than 50.
2.7. Computation of composite score
The next step was the computation of composite
score for every district. The composite score is the
arithmetic mean of the Goal score for 14 Goals
1
,
for each district, assigning equal weight to each
Goal. This score is indicative of the overall position
of a district in its journey towards achieving the
SDGs. The districts were again classified into the
four categories based on their composite score
according to the following formula:
Where Ii= composite SDG index score of district i
Ni = number of Goal scores for which district I
has non-null data
Iij= goal score for district i under SDG j
Iijk= normalised value for district i of indicator k
under SDG j
2.8. Categorisation of districts
Given the reach of SDGs across a multitude of
social, political and economic spheres of life as
well as the depth of each Goal through the numer-
ous varying targets and the complex inter-relation
and interdependencies between each Goal, it is
an extremely complicated task to set up scien-
tific classes of performance for each Goal and
to tie them together. Hence, a clean and simple
mechanism of classification was adopted based
on the score of each district across the SDGs. The
districts were classified into the four categories
namely, Achiever, Front Runner, Performer and
Aspirant in accordance with their distance from
target and the category-specific score range
given above.
METHODOLOGY & RESULTS
15
1
Only districts with an Urban Local Body/Administration were considered for computing scores in Goal 11. As a result, Goal 11 scores were generated for
only 79 of the 131 districts; therefore, this Goal is not part of the computation of the overall composite score of a district. The index is guided by India's
National Indicator Framework (NIF) on SDGs. The NIF indicators on SDG 17 at present are relevant only at the national and state levels. Therefore, Goal 17
is not part of this quantitative exercise to measure district performance. Goal 14 pertains only to the marine ecosystem and is therefore not applicable.

2.9. Limitations of the Index
While the SDG NER Index is a useful instrument to
measure the progress of NER districts in adopting
and implementing the SDG agenda, the Index has
the following limitations:
i.
There is limited comparability to the SDG India
Index. The indicator sets used for the two indi-
ces are necessarily different since some indi-
cators used in the NER index are specific to
the region and are not highly relevant to other
states of the country.
ii.
The indicators and data from non-government
sources have not been included in the interest
of data comparability and uniformity. Of the
84 indicators considered for computation-
49 percent have been sourced from Union
Ministries and national-level surveys, and 51
percent from State sources.
iii.
For some indicators, data for all districts are
not available or applicable. In computing the
Index, "null" value has been assigned to these
indicators, which have not been included in
the computation.
iv.
Some recently created districts in some states
could not be included in the analysis due to
the unavailability of data for most identified
indicators.
v. If district level data was furnished for at least
80 percent of State sourced indicators, it was
considered for computation. Therefore, 121
districts out of 131 were considered for ranking
(Refer to the next page for the complete list of
districts considered for ranking).
vi.
Only districts with an Urban Local Body/
Administration were considered for comput-
ing scores in Goal 11. As a result, Goal 11 scores
were generated for only 79 of the 131 districts;
therefore, this Goal is not part of the compu-
tation of the overall composite score of a
district. The index is guided by India's National
Indicator Framework (NIF) on SDGs. The NIF
indicators on SDG 17 at present are relevant
only at the national and state levels. Therefore,
Goal 17 is not part of this quantitative exercise
to measure district performance.
2.10 Policy relevance and utility of the index
• The NER District SDG Index underscores the
importance of embedding data-backed find-
ings and analysis in the planning and deci-
sion-making processes at the level of states
and districts for targeting geographies in clos-
ing sectoral developmental gaps.
•The index provide a tool for integrating data-
based decision making by providing infor-
mation and insights which is horizontally
expansive in terms of sectors (SDGs 1–16) and
disaggregated at the level of the district to
push for balanced regional planning.

The index also brings focus to outcome-based
targeting, which goes beyond measuring
performance only as a function of the capacity 2023-24NER DISTRICT SDG INDEX Identified indicators fr om NIF/SD G India Inde x based on

to spend allocated budgets for schemes. This
would encourage the mapping of expendi -
ture to identified gaps, and desired outcomes
to plug those gaps in order to reach out to
districts in need of budgetary allocation in a
particular sector.

The granular analysis provided by the NER
District SDG Index enables states to identify
specific sectors in which immediate improve-
ments can be made. By leveraging existing
government schemes and programmes, state
administrations can address the challenges
highlighted by the Index effectively. The Index
can thus act as a critical tool to guide states
in prioritising resources and directing their
efforts towards reaching out to populations in
need. States may take a regional approach to
integrate the Index into their planning process,
and identify which districts are performing
well and which are lagging behind. This can
help in devising targeted strategies to improve
outcomes across the region.

As a first step, at the NER or State level, the
bottom performing districts (bottom 30
percent) can be filtered for further analysis.
The goal level scores of districts, especially
those in the Aspirant (0-49) category, would
be critical to identify the broad sectors, for
example, a score of 41 in Goal 4 would neces-
sitate a closer look in the education sector for
a district. In other words, identifying the goals
in which a district has not performed well and
then following it up with a deep dive analysis
of individual indicators to truly show the gap.
This approach can help in gaining a deeper
understanding of the challenges faced by
districts and enable targeted interventions to
address the root cause of underperformance.
• By mapping the performance at the indica-
tor level to existing government schemes and
programmes, policymakers can assess the
effectiveness of these programmes and chart
a course of implementation-related action.
This approach can help in identifying the gaps
between the intended impact of government
schemes and their actual outcomes on the
ground. By addressing these gaps, policy-
makers can improve the effectiveness of the
programmes and accelerate progress.

All districts in Mizoram, Sikkim and Tripura fall in the Front Runner category, and there are no districts
in the Aspirant or Achiever category.
CHAPTER 3
The composite score for each district was computed
by aggregating its performance across the Goals
by taking the arithmetic mean of individual Goal
scores. The composite score ranges from 0 to 100
and denotes the district's overall achievement
in realising the targets under the Goals. A score
of 100 implies that the district has achieved the
targets set for identified indicators; a score of
0 implies that the district is at the bottom. Based on the
score, each district is categorised into one of the four
categories: i) Achiever: when the Index score equals
100; ii) Front Runner: when the Index score is between
65 and 100, excluding 100; iii) Performer: when the
Index score is between 50 and 65, excluding 65; iv)
Aspirant: when the Index score is less than 50.
3.1. Overall Performance
The index is computed for 121 districts – of which
103 districts are in the Front Runner category, and 18
districts are in the Performer category in the compos-
ite score and ranking.
•The score for the 121 districts ranges from 58.71 in
Longding [AR] to 81.43 in Hnahthial [MZ].
•Top 5 districts of the SDG NER Index are:
»Hnahthial [MZ] (score of 81.43),
»Champhai [MZ] (score of 79.86),
»Gomati [TR] (score of 78.79),
»Mokokchung [NL] (score of 78.43) and
»West Tripura [TR] (score of 77.64).

3.2. Key Insights
• Mizoram has the highest-scoring district in the
entire Northeast region (Hnahthial at 81.43)
and Arunachal Pradesh has the lowest scor-
ing district in the entire region (Longding
at 58.71).
• Nagaland exhibits widest range (15.07 points
between its highest and lowest performing
districts) indicating the significant intra-state
disparity. Sikkim has the narrowest range (5.5
points), showing the most consistent perfor-
mance across its districts.
• Tripura has the distinction of having some of
the highest-scoring districts with minimum
intra-state disparities (6.5 points).

Mizoram and Nagaland have some of the high-
est-scoring districts but also show significant
intra-state variation (ranges of 13.72 and 15.07,
respectively).
The districts with the highest and lowest ranks in each State are as follows:
•Arunachal Pradesh: Lower Dibang Valley
(Rank 23), Longding (Rank 121)

Assam: Dibrugarh (Rank 17), South Salmara-
Mankachar (Rank 118)

Manipur: Imphal West (Rank 24), Pherzawl
(Rank 118)

Meghalaya: East Khasi Hills (Rank 26), East
Jaintia Hills (Rank 114)
•Mizoram: Hnahthial (Rank 1),
Lawngtlai (Rank 86)

Nagaland: Mokokchung (Rank 4), Zunheboto
(Rank 110)

Sikkim: Gangtok (Rank 8), Gyalshing (Rank 49)
•Tripura: Gomati (Rank 3), Dhalai (Rank 33)
The top 10 districts have continued to perform well across SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure)
, SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 15 (Life on Land), SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production),
SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), and SDG 5 (Gender Equality), with opportunities to accel-
erate further in SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being) and SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities).

• While the index summarises SDG-wise rela-
tive performance results, a closer look at key
indicators provides an in-depth view of the
challenges.
»The NER falls behind the national average in
the indicator on percentage of students in
grade 8 achieving the minimum proficiency
level in terms of nationally defined learning
outcomes as per the National Achievement
Survey (NAS) 2021. In the NER, 66 percent
of the districts have reported values less
than the national average (77 percent).
»Annual average dropout rate is an area
which requires attention. As many as 100
districts have an annual average dropout
rate at secondary level (Class 9–10) higher
than the India average of 14.1 percent as
per Unified- District Information System
for Education (UDISE) 2023–24. School
infrastructure remains a priority area with
significant scope for improvement.
»The NER has experienced a continuous
decline in forest area over the years, raising
significant environmental concerns. As per
the India State of Forest Report (ISFR)
2023, 72 districts reported a reduction
in forest cover compared to the previous
assessment in 2021.
Despite the challenges, significant improvements
have been observed in the indicators linked to the
National Family Health Survey (NFHS), such as
access to clean cooking fuel, housing, electricity,
sanitation, drinking water, bank accounts, child and
maternal health services, schooling and attend-
ance, birth registration, unmet need for family
planning, health insurance, among others. This
momentum will be key to closing the gap with the
national average in the short and medium term and
for states to feature among the top states in the
long term. An Increase in the proportion of districts
in the Front Runner category (overall score 65–99)
from 62 percent in the last edition to 85 percent in
this edition signifies the effect of national flagship
schemes and overall momentum and direction of
progress across goals and indicators in the NER.
In this context, indicator-level analysis is crucial
for identifying gaps and accelerating progress
at par and in the long term beyond the national
average, especially for targeting intra-region/state
disparities among districts.
»Access to clean cooking fuel as primary
source of energy for households has signif-
icantly improved in the region, however
about 75 percent of the districts fare below
the national average.

Goal 1 encompasses the aim of eradicating
poverty - not only in monetary terms but in all
forms and dimensions by 2030. This involves
targeting the most vulnerable, increasing
basic resources and services, and supporting
communities affected by conflict and
climate-related disasters. It calls for continuous
monitoring of progress in social protection and
implementing nationally appropriate social
protection systems. The importance of mobilizing
resources from a variety of sources, including
through enhanced development cooperation, is
also emphasized in this goal.
Targets
1.1 By 2030, eradicate extreme poverty for all
people everywhere, currently measured as
people living on less than USD 1.25 a day
1.2 By 2030, reduce at least by half the
proportion of men, women and children of
all ages living in poverty in all its dimensions
according to national definitions
1.3 Implement nationally appropriate social
protection systems and measures for all,
including floors, and by 2030 achieve
substantial coverage of the poor and the
vulnerable
1.4 By 2030, ensure that all men and women,
in particular the poor and the vulnerable,
have equal rights to economic resources, as
well as access to basic services, ownership
and control over land and other forms of
property, inheritance, natural resources,
appropriate new technology and financial
services, including microfinance
1.5 By 2030, build the resilience of the poor
and those in vulnerable situations and
reduce their exposure and vulnerability to
climate-related extreme events and other
economic, social and environmental shocks
and disasters
1.a Ensure significant mobilization of resources
from a variety of sources, including through
enhanced development cooperation, in
order to provide adequate and predictable
means for developing countries, in particular
least developed countries, to implement
programmes and policies to end poverty in
all its dimensions
1.b Create sound policy frameworks at
the national, regional and international
levels, based on pro-poor and gender-
sensitive development strategies, to
support accelerated investment in poverty
eradication actions

TABLE 1.1: PERFORMANCE OF DISTRICTS ON SDG 1

The SDGs aim to end all forms of hunger and
malnutrition by 2030, making sure all people
- especially children - have sufficient and nutritious
food all year. This involves promoting sustainable
agriculture, supporting small-scale farmers, and
equal access to land, technology and markets. It
also requires international cooperation to ensure
investment in infrastructure and technology to
improve agricultural productivity. The goal also
focuses at - doubling agricultural productivity,
maintaining genetic diversity of seeds, plants and
farmed animals, and strengthening capacity for
climate change adaptive agriculture.
Targets
2.1 By 2030, end hunger and ensure access by
all people, in particular the poor and people
in vulnerable situations, including infants,
to safe, nutritious and sufficient food all
year round
2.2 By 2030, end all forms of malnutrition,
including achieving, by 2025, the
internationally agreed targets on stunting
and wasting in children under 5 years of
age, and address the nutritional needs of
adolescent girls, pregnant and lactating
women and older persons
2.3 By 2030, double the agricultural productivity
and incomes of small-scale food producers,
in particular women, indigenous peoples,
family farmers, pastoralists and fishers,
including through secure and equal access to
land, other productive resources and inputs,
knowledge, financial services, markets
and opportunities for value addition and
non-farm employment
2.4 By 2030, ensure sustainable food production
systems and implement resilient agricultural
practices that increase productivity and
production, that help maintain ecosystems,
that strengthen capacity for adaptation
to climate change, extreme weather,
drought, flooding and other disasters and
progressively improve land and soil quality
2.5 By 2020, maintain the genetic diversity of
seeds, cultivated plants and farmed and
domesticated animals and their related wild
species, including through soundly managed
and diversified seed and plant banks at
the national, regional and international
levels, and promote access to and fair
and equitable sharing of benefits arising
from the utilization of genetic resources
and associated traditional knowledge, as
internationally agreed
2.a Increase investment, including through
enhanced international cooperation, in rural
infrastructure, agricultural research and
extension services, technology development
and plant and livestock gene banks in order
to enhance agricultural productive capacity
in developing countries, in particular least
developed countries
2.b Correct and prevent trade restrictions and
distortions in world agricultural markets,
including through the parallel elimination of
all forms of agricultural export subsidies and
all export measures with equivalent effect, in
accordance with the mandate of the Doha
Development Round
2.c Adopt measures to ensure the proper
functioning of food commodity markets and
their derivatives and facilitate timely access
to market information, including on food
reserves, in order to help limit extreme food
price volatility

Target Justification
SDG TargetIndicator TargetJustification of Target
2.1
Percentage of Fair Price Shops (FPS)
covered under online transaction
system for PDS in the district
100
Global SDG target 2.1 aims to end hunger and ensure access to
safe, nutritious and sufficient food all year round, by all. The Public
Distribution System in India facilitates the supply of food grains
and essential commodities at subsidized price to a large number
of poor people through a network of FPS. Automation of FPS is
critical for having greater transparency in the overall PDS value
chain. To encourage FPS automation, the target has been set to be
the average of the best five scores, rounded to the nearest whole
number.
2.2
Percentage of anganwadi centres
in the district with anthropometric
measurement devices (height, weight
measurement)
100
Global SDG target 2.2 aims to end all forms of malnutrition,
including achieving, by 2025, the internationally agreed targets on
stunting and wasting in children under 5 years of age. Availability of
anthropometric measurement devices is important to identify cases
of stunting and wasting in children under 5 years of age.
2.2
Percentage of anganwadis with own
buildings
100
Under the ICDS scheme, anganwadis function as the centre for
health, nutrition and early learning. To carry out their activities
effectively, all anganwadis must necessarily have their own buildings
that meet the guidelines specified by the Ministry of Women and
Child Development.
2.2
Percentage of children under age 5
years who are stunted
23.7
The target has been set to 23.7 percent as per the WHO Global
Nutrition Targets tracking tool
2.2
Percentage of children under age 5
years who are underweight
2.6
The target has been set to 2.6 per cent as this the corresponding
percentage of children under five years who are underweight in
upper middle-income countries as per the 2019 database of the
World Bank.
2.2
Percentage of pregnant women aged
15-49 years who are anaemic (<11.0
g/dl)
25.2
The WHO targets a 50 percent reduction of anaemia in women of
reproductive age by 2025 (Global Nutrition Targets 2025, Policy
Brief Series). Hence, 50 percent reduction from base year (2015-
16) has been set to be the target.
2.2
Percentage of children aged 6-59
months who are anaemic (<11.0 g/dl)
21
The target has been set to 21 per cent as this is the corresponding
prevalence of anaemia in children aged 6-59 months in upper
middle-income countries as per the 2019 database of the World
Bank.
2.3 Average yield of rice (kg/ha) 4114
Global SDG target 2.3 aims to double the agricultural productivity
by 2030. Hence, target is to double the agricultural productivity of
the North Eastern Region from the base year (2015-16).

rapid urbanization, threats to the climate and the
environment, the continuing burden of HIV and
other infectious diseases, and emerging challenges
such as non-communicable diseases. It calls for
a renewed focus on mental health issues as well.
Universal health coverage, including financial risk
protection, access to quality essential health care
services and access to safe, effective, quality, and
affordable medicines are integral to this goal.

ratio to less than 70 per 100,000 live births
3.2 By 2030, end preventable deaths of newborns
and children under 5 years of age, with all
countries aiming to reduce neonatal mortality
to at least as low as 12 per 1,000 live births and
under-5 mortality to at least as low as 25 per
1,000 live births
3.3 By 2030, end the epidemics of AIDS,
tuberculosis, malaria and neglected tropical
diseases and combat hepatitis, water-borne
diseases and other communicable diseases
3.4 By 2030, reduce by one third premature

national strategies and programmes
3.8 Achieve universal health coverage, including
financial risk protection, access to quality
essential health-care services and access to
safe, effective, quality and affordable essential
medicines and vaccines for all
3.9 By 2030, substantially reduce the number
of deaths and illnesses from hazardous
chemicals and air, water and soil pollution and
contamination

Target Justification
SDG TargetIndicator TargetJustification of Target
3.1
Percentage of pregnant women
who completed 4 Antenatal Cares
(ANC) in the district
100
This target corresponds to global SDG target 3.1 that aims to reduce maternal
mortality. The antenatal period presents opportunities for reaching pregnant
women with interventions that may be vital to their health and wellbeing and that
of their infants. The WHO recommends receiving antenatal care at least four times
to increase the likelihood of receiving effective maternal health interventions
during the antenatal period.
3.1
Percentage of births attended by
skilled health personnel
100
This target corresponds to global SDG target 3.1 that aims to reduce maternal
mortality. All women should have access to skilled care during pregnancy and
childbirth to ensure prevention, detection and management of complications.
Assistance by competent health personnel working within an enabling
environment is key to lowering maternal and newborn deaths.
3.2
Percentage of children aged 9-11
months fully immunized
100
This target corresponds to the global SDG target 3.2 which aims to end
preventable deaths of newborns and children under 5 years of age. 100 percent
immunization coverage (BCG, measles, and 3 doses each of polio and DPT) is a
prerequisite to achieve this global target.
3.2 Infant Mortality Rate 11
The target has been set to 11 per cent as this is the corresponding rate of infant
mortality in upper middle-income countries as per the 2019 database of the
World Bank.
3.8
Number of functional new born
facilities (SNCU, NBSU, NBCC) per
10,000 population
3.13
Global SDG target 3.8 aims to achieve universal health coverage, including
financial risk protection, access to quality essential health-care services and
access to safe, effective, quality and affordable essential medicines and vaccines
for all. The target has been set as the average of the 5 best scores.
3.3
Number of new HIV infections per
1,000 uninfected population
0
The target is aligned with the global SDG target 3.3 that aims to end the epidemic
of AIDS by 2030.
3.8
Percentage of TB cases successfully
treated among TB cases notified to
the national health authorities
100
The target is aligned with the global SDG target 3.8 that aims to provide access
to quality essential health-care services and access to safe, effective, quality and
affordable essential medicines and vaccines for all. It is also aligned to global
SDG target 3.3.
3.4
Number of suicide deaths reported
per 1,00,000 population
3.5
Global SDG target 3.4 aims to reduce by one third premature mortality from non-
communicable diseases through prevention and treatment and promote mental
health and well-being, by 2030. Hence, the target has been set to reduce by a
third from the base year (2015) figures.
3.5
Number of de-addiction centres
(public and private) per 10,000
population
5.7
Global SDG target 3.5 aims to strengthen the prevention and treatment of
substance abuse, including narcotic drug abuse and harmful use of alcohol. The
target has been set as the average of the 5 best scores.
3.8
First Referral Units (FRUs) per
10,000 population
3.7
The target is aligned with the global SDG target 3.8 that aims to provide access
to quality essential health-care services and access to safe, effective, quality and
affordable essential medicines and vaccines for all. The target has been set as the
average of the 5 best scores.
3.c
Total physicians, nurses and
midwives per 10,000 population
45
Global SDG target 3.c aims to substantially increase health financing and the
recruitment, development, training and retention of the health workforce. The WHO,
in its report “Monitoring Health in the Sustainable Development Goals: 2017,
World Health Organization, Regional Office for South East Asia”, lays out a target
to have a skilled health professionals density (physicians/nurses/midwives per
10,000 population) of 44.5.

The Goal emphasises on “doing more with less” thus
promoting resource efficiency, green economies
and sustainable infrastructure. It also focusses on
reducing degradation and pollution and minimising
waste. The efficient management of our shared
natural resources and the way we dispose of toxic
waste and pollutants are important targets to
achieve this Goal. It calls for awareness generation
and dissemination on sustainable development,
lifestyles and practices.
Targets
12.1 Implement the 10‑ Year Framework of
Programmes on Sustainable Consumption
and Production Patterns, all countries taking
action, with developed countries taking the
lead, taking into account the development and
capabilities of developing countries
12.2 By 2030, achieve the sustainable management
and efficient use of natural resources
12.3 By 2030, halve per capita global food waste at
the retail and consumer levels and reduce food
losses along production and supply chains,
including post-harvest losses
12.4 By 2020, achieve the environmentally sound
management of chemicals and all wastes
throughout their life cycle, in accordance
with agreed international frameworks, and
significantly reduce their release to air, water
and soil in order to minimize their adverse
impacts on human health and the environment
12.5 By 2030, substantially reduce waste generation
through prevention, reduction, recycling
and reuse
12.6 Encourage companies, especially large and
transnational companies, to adopt sustainable
practices and to integrate sustainability
information into their reporting cycle
12.7 Promote public procurement practices that
are sustainable, in accordance with national
policies and priorities
12.8 By 2030, ensure that people everywhere
have the relevant information and awareness
for sustainable development and lifestyles in
harmony with nature
12.a Support developing countries to strengthen
their scientific and technological capacity to
move towards more sustainable patterns of
consumption and production
12.b Develop and implement tools to monitor
sustainable development impacts for
sustainable tourism that creates jobs and
promotes local culture and products
12.c Rationalize inefficient fossil-fuel subsidies
that encourage wasteful consumption by
removing market distortions, in accordance
with national circumstances, including by
restructuring taxation and phasing out those
harmful subsidies, where they exist, to reflect
their environmental impacts, taking fully into
account the specific needs and conditions
of developing countries and minimizing the
possible adverse impacts on their development
in a manner that protects the poor and the
affected communities

2023-24

The Goal is aimed at integrating climate change
measures, disaster risk measures and sustainable
natural resource management into national
development strategies. To minimise the human
impact of geophysical disasters, the Goal calls for
strengthening resilience and adaptive capacity,
including human and institutional capacity on
mitigation, adaptation, and early warning. Efforts at
the national level - for adopting green technologies,
promoting the use of clean and modern source
of energy, advocating for behavioural change
for sustainable use of resources, have to be
complemented by international cooperation on
climate change since the causes and effects of
climate change transcend national boundaries.
Targets
13.1 Strengthen resilience and adaptive capacity to
climate-related hazards and natural disasters
in all countries
13.2 Integrate climate change measures into
national policies, strategies and planning
13.3 Improve education, awareness-raising and
human and institutional capacity on climate
change mitigation, adaptation, impact
reduction and early warning
13.a Implement the commitment undertaken by
developed-country parties to the United
Nations Framework Convention on Climate
Change to a goal of mobilising jointly USD
100 billion annually by 2020 from all sources
to address the needs of developing countries
in the context of meaningful mitigation actions
and transparency on implementation and fully
operationalise the Green Climate Fund through
its capitalisation as soon as possible
13.b Promote mechanisms for raising capacity for
effective climate change-related planning and
management in least developed countries
and small island developing States, including
focusing on women, youth and local and
marginalised communities
SDG 13
CLIMATE ACTION
Take urgent action to combat climate
change and its impacts

THE WAY FORWARD:
With less than five years remaining to achieve the
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), expediting
focused efforts to ensure inclusive development for
all is imperative. The North Eastern Region District
SDG Index and Dashboard serves as a valuable tool
to identify critical areas of development needs and
prioritise those farthest behind. It aims to enhance
analytical understanding of sectoral issues, fill data
gaps, and guide future action plans in the region. This
unique policy tool provides essential insights at the
district level, highlighting critical gaps and informing
resource allocation decisions. The Index serves as
a reliable reference for the NE States to assess the
comparative progress of districts across various SDGs,
including health, education, gender, economic growth,
institutions and environment.
Over the past four years, the North Eastern States have
successfully intensified the momentum of localising
SDGs and measuring progress at the district level
through the first edition of the NER District SDG Index
and Dashboard. A few States have also initiated setting
up SDG cells/coordination centres to institutionalise
these goals. Sustaining this progress is key to bridging
the performance gap in the short term and positioning
districts/states as top Performers in the long run.
It is worth noting that MDoNER has designed a new
scheme, Prime Minister's Development Initiative for
North East Region (PM-DevINE), based on the findings
of the first NER District SDG Index. This scheme
focuses on infrastructure development, industry
promotion, and social development projects while
enhancing livelihood opportunities for youth and
women. It provides targeted support to address
development gaps and accelerate progress on the
SDGs in the North Eastern Region.
Looking ahead, NITI Aayog and MDoNER are
committed to ensure:
a) Institutionalisation of SDGs in NE States through
the whole of the government approach:
The second edition of the index can be used as a tool
by the NE States to

Establish SDGCAC with support and guidance
from MDoNER and NITI Aayog to strengthen
governance, implementation, and monitoring of
SDG progress.

Develop State SDG Action Plans by leveraging
data from the index to assess district performance,
identify gaps, and set a foundation for targeted
interventions in alignment with national and state
initiatives.

Set clear targets and assign responsibilities to
specific departments, ensuring accountability and
a structured approach to addressing SDG-related
challenges.

Design and implement targeted interventions
using evidence-based insights to close identified
gaps, improve outcomes, and track progress
effectively.
b) Investment in data infrastructure and capacities
(including for citizen-generated data) to
improve data accessibility, support evidence-
based decision-making and accurate solution
identification. It is essential to integrate emerging
technologies like Big Data, AI, and Machine
Learning with traditional data sources while
ensuring their ethical use. There is a need to
enhance analytics and data capacities to identify
marginalized groups, understand challenges, and
design targeted SDG interventions.
c) Integrating SDG targets into government budgets
to ensure impact-driven and results-oriented
financial planning. SDG costing and financing gap
analyses are needed to assess resource needs and
identify funding shortfalls. Innovative financing
tools such as the SDG Investor Map and CSR
matchmaking platforms to mobilize additional
investments can be explored in this direction.
FROM ANALYSIS TO ACTION
CHAPTER 4
1502023-24NER DISTRICT SDG INDEX

d) Recognise the role of partnerships, including
South-South Cooperation, as a key strategy to
accelerate SDG progress. Fostering cross-learning
among Himalayan states and countries to share
best practices has the potential to address common
implementation challenges. Knowledge exchange
on effective strategies can help policymakers adopt
innovative, region-specific solutions for sustainable
development.
The continued collaboration between NITI Aayog, the
nodal ministry for SDG implementation, MDoNER,
State governments, other development partners,
and the private sector will be crucial in ensuring the
effective implementation and monitoring of SDGs. This
partnership will focus on strengthening institutional
structures at the state and district levels, aligning them
with the SDG agenda, and working towards achieving
the goals outlined in Agenda 2030.
