The Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation has developed the National Indicator Framework (NIF) of SDGs to assist the Government in monitoring and tracking the progress of SDGs at national level, based on the official data provided by Ministries, Departments and State Governments. I am proud to release the Baseline Report "Sustainable Development Goals - National Indicator Framework, Baseline Report - 2015-16". The report will help in setting a benchmark for measuring progress in SDGs and associated targets up to 2030 and reflects the diversity in the country. The findings of the report will be useful in framing policies in areas requiring focused attention in achieving the SDG goals. I wish to place on record my sincere thanks for the able guidance of Shri Pravin Srivastava, Chief Statistician of India & Secretary, Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation and the team of officers in Social Statistics Devision, for the preparation of this report. Dated : 29.06.2019 Place : New Delhi (Inderjit Singh) i MESSAGE India is a signatory to the resolution adopted on 'Transforming our World: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development' at the 70th Session of the United Nations General Assembly held on 25th September 2015. To monitor the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and its associated targets, a National Indicator Framework (NIF) comprising 306 national indicators has been developed by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) in consultation with Central Ministries/ Departments, States and other stakeholders, such as, UN Agencies and Civil Society. As the NIF is data intensive, it is important that the metadata pertaining to these indicators is clearly and unambiguously defined. MoSPI has initiated the process for the Baseline Report on SDG-NIF including the metadata and baseline data of national indicators based on the interaction with the line Ministries/Departments. This Baseline Country Report on the National Indicator Framework (NIF) of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) will serve as a valuable tool for policy making, planning, administrators, researchers and other stakeholders. I express my compliments to the officers engaged in this endeavour, especially the officers of Social Statistics Division of the National Statistical Office for their meticulous work in bringing out this publication with data pooled from various reliable sources. Dated : 29.06.2019 Place : New Delhi (Pravin Srivastava) ii MESSAGE India is not only the fastest growing large economy in the world now, but also has a emulative focus on low-carbon growth, good governance and social and economic equity. Having 18 per cent of world’s population and the largest aspiring youth mass, India’s timely achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) will push the world towards a virtuous cycle of development and wellbeing. India has surged ahead fast on several fronts which are critical to the SDGs. Multi-dimensional poverty has been drastically lowered across different dimensions. All-round initiatives are effectively implemented to enhance inclusivity and equality. Massive strides have been taken towards universal health coverage through Ayushman Bharat. New technologies and innovations are being adopted and assimilated on a large scale. Access to modern and renewable energy has predominantly multiplied. Achieving SDGs is a dogged marathon where success can only be secured through evidence-based planning, implementation, monitoring and continuous improvement. Development of the elaborate and comprehensive National Indicator Framework (NIF) along with detailed data protocols through consultations and consensus by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) has been a significant breakthrough in the direction. The Ministry has now come out with the baseline which provides the status of the country as of 2015-16 on the SDGs as per the NIF. This will be a very useful aid to calibrate performance and progress on the SDGs both at national and subnational levels going forward and I congratulate MoSPI for this signal achievement. NITI Aayog has earlier developed the 1st SDG India Index and Baseline report based on select indicators derived from the NIF. The Index provided a holistic snapshot on the social, economic and environmental achievements of the country on the SDGs and tracked the performance of all States/Union Territories. It provided the much-needed comparative reference and proved very useful to set off a competitive momentum across the States/UTs for bettering performance. The more detailed database now being released by MoSPI will provide a wider basis for such monitoring and evaluation initiatives which will follow in due course. While fructifying the stupendous efforts of the MoSPI team, the publication of the baseline also highlights the sustained challenge of generating adequate, updated and correct data on a real-time basis. The unique blend of variety and diversity in our country makes the challenge more formidable. However, the deftness with which the MoSPI team has been successful in bringing out the NIF and the baseline gives us the confidence that the challenge will certainly not be insuperable. Dated : 29.06.2019 iii Place : New Delhi (Amitabh Kant) MESSAGE The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are an inter-governmentally agreed set of targets relating to international development. They follow from the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The MDGs were mainly limited to certain aspects of social and economic development which expired at the end of 2015. The SDGs are more comprehensive and comprising of all three dimensions of development viz. economic, social and environment. Indicators are the backbone of monitoring the SDGs at local, national, regional, and global levels. They serve as a tool to help countries to develop implementation strategies and allocate resources accordingly, and as a score card to measure progress towards achieving a target and to ensure the accountability of governments and other stakeholders for achieving the SDGs. The MoSPI after a series of consultations and workshops with Central Ministries/Departments, State Governments and other stakeholders, developed the national indicator framework for the SDGs to measures progress of SDG targets at national level, keeping in mind the lessons from the MDGs. This report will provide a benchmark to track our progress towards SDGs targets at national level till 2030. The period 2015-16 has been used as baseline period. In

  • Doing Business in India
    Doing Business in India November 2018 Background The Government of India took the task of transforming India into a manufacturing power through the ‘Make in India’ campaign launched on September 25, 2014. A national program designed to facilitate investment, foster innovation, enhance skill development, protect intellectual property and build best-in-class manufacturing infrastructure. While several initiatives are being undertaken to provide adequate physical and social infrastructure such as industrial corridors, cluster, zones, etc. it is encouraging to note that the Government of India (GoI) has embarked on ambitious reforms focused on improving India’s performance in the World Bank’s Doing Business rankings. India is ranked 77 among 190 economies in the ease of doing business, according to the latest World Bank annual ratings. Investment climate in India has also improved considerably since the opening up of the economy in 1991. With an aim to attract and promote FDI, GoI has put in place a policy framework on FDI, which is transparent, predictable and easily comprehensible. This toolkit covers information on Setting up Business in India such as types of permitted business establishments, commencing business in India by a foreign investor, foreign company incorporation process – LO/ BO/ PO, business registration process and Central & State level compliances. Moreover, it covers the FDI related information across sectors such as how much FDI is permitted under different sectors via automatic/ Government route. The toolkit further covers the institutional and regulatory framework such as routing FDI in India, concerned administrative Ministries/ Departments, applicable regulatory framework for business establishments, governing bodies for business establishments and winding-up business.

  • National Action Plan for Welfare of Senior Citizens (Napsrc)
    GOVERNMENT OF INDIA MINISTRY OF SOCIAL JUSTICE AND EMPOWERMENT DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL JUSTICE AND EMPOWERMENT An Umbrella Scheme for Senior Citizens. National Action Plan for Welfare of Senior Citizens (NAPSrC) (w.e.f. 01.04.2020) Scheme of National Action Plan for Welfare of Senior Citizens (NAPSrC) 1. Introduction and Background: As India experiences sustained periods of growth, the population will become healthier and live longer. Research indicates that 12% of India’s population will be over the age of 60 by 2030 and according to the UN Population Fund; this is expected to increase to 19.4% by 2050. Projection indicates there are going to be more women than men in the 60+ age group. Increased longevity has resulted in a rise of population above 80 years of age, which accounts for nearly 1.1 Crore people. With around 6 lakh people over the age of 100, India is expected to have the highest number of centenarians by 2050. As the number of senior citizens increase – from 10.38 Crore in 2011 to an estimated 17.3 Crore in 2026 and 30 Crore in 2050 - the need for programmes for their welfare increases. Increase in life expectancy, coupled with nuclearization of families, dependency on others for their day-to-day maintenance and age-related difficulties; pose a tough challenge to the lives of elderly people. The problem gets exacerbated for the elderly women due to higher economic dependency. In rural areas, where 70% of the elderly live, migration of younger people for economic reasons and the poor quality of medical services, leads to a grim situation, especially for those above 80 years of age.

  • Outcome Budget 2021-2022
    ºÉiªÉàÉä´É VɪÉiÉä GOVERNMENT OF INDIA Outcome Budget 2021-2022 February, 2021 MINISTRY OF FINANCE OUTPUT OUTCOME FRAMEWORK 2021-22 (MAJOR CENTRAL SECTOR & CENTRALLY SPONSORED SCHEMES) Preface Major Expenditure Reforms have been undertaken by the Government over the last few years. This not only includes simplification of appraisal and approval processes, but also structural changes in the process of budget making itself, like doing away with Plan / Non-plan distinction. As a result, the cost-centres are being treated in an integrated manner, within only the statutory revenue capital framework. This enables another major structural reform, which is to bring the public schemes and projects under a monitorable Output-Outcome framework. Since 2017-18, in addition to the financial outlays of schemes of the Ministries being indicated in the Budget document, the expected outputs and outcomes of the schemes are also being presented in a consolidated Outcome Budget document, along with the Budget. These Outlays, Outputs and Outcomes are being presented to the Parliament in measurable terms, bringing-in greater accountability for the agencies involved in the execution of government schemes and projects. Outlay is the amount that is provided for a given scheme or project in the Budget; while Output refers to the direct and measurable product of program activities, often expressed in physical terms or units. Outcomes are the collective results or qualitative improvements brought about in the delivery of these services. The Outcome Budget presents (a) the financial outlay for the year 2021-22 along with (b) clearly defined outputs and outcomes (c) measurable output and outcome indicators and (d) specific output and outcome targets for FY 2021-22.
