Indicators for sustainable development

The objectives are to (1) design a framework for identifying and assessing SDI (sustainable development indicators) for India, indicating what modifications would be required for international comparisons; (2) compile the indicator series, to the extent possible, for the last decade which, would be undertaken for one state as a pilot test; (3) identify the data gaps/inconsistencies and suggest how these could be resolved to ensure a regular flow of information to support the indicators developed; (4) recommend the appropriate institutional and information coordinating mechanism at the central and state levels required to opertionalize and sustain the SDI system for the country.
