Question

UnlockIAS · Accepted Answer

Correct — A. Under the UN's fixed, serially-numbered list of 17 Sustainable Development Goals, SDG-1 is 'No Poverty', SDG-2 is 'Zero Hunger', and SDG-9 is 'Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure'. The SDG India Index (first published by NITI Aayog in December 2018) tracks India's states/UTs against these same 17 goals.

Why the other options are wrong — (b) Only the first part is right (SDG-1 = No Poverty). 'Quality Education' is SDG-4, not SDG-2 (which is Zero Hunger); 'Life on Land' is SDG-15, not SDG-9.  (c) None of these three names matches SDG-1, SDG-2 or SDG-9 — 'Clean Water and Sanitation' is SDG-6, 'Climate Action' is SDG-13, and 'Sustainable Cities and Communities' is SDG-11.  (d) All three names are real SDGs but wrongly assigned — 'Gender Equality' is SDG-5 (not 1), 'Climate Action' is SDG-13 (not 2), and 'Zero Hunger' is genuinely SDG-2, but here it is misplaced as if it were SDG-9.

Concept: The SDG India Index, launched by NITI Aayog with its first ('Baseline') edition in December 2018, measures the progress of India's states and union territories on the UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), adopted globally in 2015 under the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Each of the 17 SDGs has a fixed, standard name tied to its serial number.
