In a bid to effectively track the progress on Agenda 2030, the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoPSI) on Saturday launched India’s first Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) dashboard.
The dashboard is a national platform that pulls together reliable data from over 100 different data sets, portals and sectors on to one an easy-to-use, intuitive platform, to power better informed decision making on the SDGs. It has been developed in partnership with the UN in India, DFID India and Social Cops.
“We are committed to provide comprehensive information needed to track India’s progress on SDGs. Our ministry has taken key steps to triangulate data, develop capacities and harness technology for data-driven decision making,” said Pravin Srivastava, Secretary, MoSPI.
The dashboard will be India’s official data repository of the National Indicator Framework on SDGs, the country’s largest monitoring framework with 306 statistical indicators.
It provides an aggregated overview of all goals, maps data for over 130 indicators, measures all targets against national benchmarks with state and district filters, and leverages data-driven insights to roll out targeted development plans.
“The dashboard can help fast-track this journey by helping state governments contextualize, visualize, track and measure their progress towards the goals more effectively,” said Renata Lok-Dessallien, UN Resident Coordinator, India.
