Sustainable Development Goals progress tracker
Track how India and its states are progressing on the UN Sustainable Development Goals, and where they lag.
The brief
A policy think-tank wants a clear, data-driven view of progress on a few Sustainable Development Goals (for example health, education, clean energy). Gather indicators for India, its states and peer countries, measure progress, forecast whether targets will be met, and explain what the leaders do differently. Good looks like: well-sourced indicators, honest forecasts with uncertainty, and a report and dashboard a policymaker could use.
