The Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation is in the process of developing indicators for the SDGs which are applicable to India.7 The Government of India has been implementing several Central Sector/Centrally Sponsored Schemes including the Flagships Programs for sustainable development of the country and its people in three dimensions viz. economic, social and environmental. These developmental schemes are mostly addressing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which are targeted to be achieved by 2030. The Development Monitoring and Evaluation Office (DMEO), an attached office under NITI Aayog has been nominated as the nodal organization for the implementation of the SDGs. A Working Group (WG) has been constituted for dealing with the matters relating to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), such as: examining the data sheet prepared by DMEO on mapping of Central Sector/Centrally Sponsored Schemes (Core of the Core and Core indicator) and other initiatives (eg.
