Time to reinforce SDGs

Owing to the Novel Coronavirus outbreak, 2020 has been labelled as the year of morbidity, increasing inequalities, decimated lives and livelihoods when, ironically, it was to be the year of ushering in ambitious deliverables under the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN-DESA) has reiterated the necessity of fulfilling SDGs for development, post-COVID-19 recovery and also for ensuring preparedness for a new and monumental crisis of global climate change. In view of this, it is pertinent to draw an SDG-level map on how India can walk this delicate path with enriching prospects.
