J&K scores better than top states in NITI Aayog index of states on SDGs
Despite confronting challenges of isolation, backward inaccessible areas lack of an industrial base, and employment opportunities, the Jammu and Kashmir performs better than many states and Union Territories (UTs) in NITI Aayog s index of states on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The Jammu and Kashmir even left states like Maharashtra, Telangana others behind in the NITI index. Although J&K has improved its ranking in almost all sectors, its performance is excellent in the sectors like health, agricultural productions, education, renewal energy, providing civic amenities, enhancing forest cover, and ensuring gender equality during the last year.
