The NITI Aayog unveiled the first Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Urban Index and Dashboard (2021-22).
The index and dashboard were created in collaboration with NITI Aayog, GIZ, and BMZ, with the goal of driving SDG localization in Indian cities under the umbrella of Indo-German Development Cooperation.
Shimla, Coimbatore, Chandigarh, Thiruvananthapuram, and Kochi have topped the NITI Aayog's Sustainable Development Goals Urban India Index, while Dhanbad, Meerut, Itanagar, Guwahati, and Patna have performed the worst.
In 2015, the UN General assembly set the target of meeting 17 SDG goals by 2030, and the latest index measures urban centers based on 15 out of 17 targets.
