The world has formally adopted the post-2015 development<br />
agenda, the set of 17 goals and 169 targets known as<br />
the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Developing<br />
countries, such as India, need to unpack and interpret<br />
the development framework to ensure its relevance to<br />
their development needs and interests. It is in this critical<br />
moment between adoption and execution, therefore, that<br />
this volume underscores the importance of a national lens<br />
through which to understand and implement these goals.<br />
To this end, this edited volume: Unpacks the tensions inherent<br />
in various interpretations of 'sustainable development' by<br />
eliciting debates, given varied value systems and national<br />
interests; offers a framework through which to localise<br />
global goals like the SDGs; focuses on 10 SDGs that are<br />
India’s primary concerns; and ends with an evaluation of the<br />
strengths and weaknesses of institutional architecture for<br />
implementing the SDGs in India.<br />
Global Policy is an innovative<br />

an online hub bringing together<br />

Observer Research Foundation is a<br />

developing and discussing policy<br />
alternatives on a wide range of<br />
issues of national and international<br />
significance in a bid to help build a<br />
