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 />

and interdisciplinary journal and<br />

an online hub bringing together<br />

world class academics and leading<br />

practitioners to analyse both<br />

public and private solutions to<br />

global problems and issues.<br />

Observer Research Foundation is a<br />

not for profit think tank engaged in<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 />

strong and prosperous India.
