The SDG India Index developed by NITI Aayog maps the progress of States and Union Territories against the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). While most of the 17 global goals are included, some goals like SDG 14 (Life Below Water) and SDG 15 (Life on Land) are often difficult to measure comprehensively at the sub-national level across all states, especially for landlocked states, and are therefore typically not fully included or measured with limited indicators in the main index. The other goals listed (Zero hunger, Reduced unemployment – covered under Decent Work and Economic Growth, Responsible consumption and production) are generally included in the index framework.
