There’s a lot to uncover in the 350 pages of niti aayog’s 2021 report on india’s performance in achieving the UN sdgs.
Here’s an outline in under a minute.
The report is essentially divided into 4 chapters. Three of these are pretty much entirely made up of data, comparing how sustainably developed India states really are. we’ll get to those.
The other chapter, however, deserves some attention. Because what it repeatedly stresses about, for nearly 50 pages, is the importance of government ‘partnerships’ with NGOs in ensuring India sustainably develops. At one point, the report outright says “Civil Society Organizations play an essential role in providing a voice to the vulnerable”.
That’s beautiful…maybe now the government will stop cracking down on NGOs, and arresting protestors? Or is the only vulnerable voice in need of protection that of the incumbent?
