Gender equality and zero hunger remain the two goals that require ‘special attention’, Niti Aayog SDG report says. The country score on both these goals is below 50.

New Delhi: India is struggling to meet the goals of gender equality, according to the Niti Aayog’s latest Sustainable Development Goals-India Index report.

According to the report, released last week, gender equality and zero hunger remain the two goals under the SDG-India index that require “special attention” as the overall country score for these two goals is below 50 for the second consecutive year.

The index divided states and UTs into the following four categories on the basis of scores: aspirants (0-49), performer (50-64), front-runner (65-99) and achiever (100).

No state bagged a position in the front-runner category. Only two UTs — Andaman and Nicobar Islands and Puducherry — could make it to this segment.

Chhattisgarh was the top performer among states with a score of 64.

A total of 18 states and UTs made it to the performer category: Chhattisgarh, Kerala, Himachal Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Sikkim, Karnataka, Goa, Madhya Pradesh, Mizoram, Jharkhand, Maharashtra, Meghalaya, Uttar Pradesh, Chandigarh, Lakshadweep, Dadra and Nagar Haveli & Daman and Diu

Others remained in the aspirants category: Gujarat, Bihar, Nagaland, Odisha, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Haryana, Manipur, Telangana, West Bengal, Rajasthan, Tripura, Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh and Delhi.

The scores were arrived at based on parameters including sex ratio at birth, ratio of female to male average wage/salary earnings received among regular wage/ salaried employees, rate of crimes against women per 1,00,000 female population, etc.
