Abstract

The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were committed by the United Nations to adopt by the member states of the United Nations to create a sustainable development goals for all human beings. All nations have already committed to achieving the goals of the SDGs by 2030. India has played an important role in shaping the sustainable development goals with the mission of sustainable development of the country. As of the largest country by area and the second largest population in the world. Additionally, to achieve sustainable development it requires systematic solutions, technology development, urban planning, improvement of infrastructures and service, investment promotion, and public consciousness. To overcome these challenges, the five missions were set up to facilitate the implementation of these goals such as Smart Cities Mission, Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT), Mission Heritage City Development and Augmentation Yojana (HRIDAY Mission), Swachh Bharat Mission and Urban Transport. The adaptive governance framework and the example of implementation projects in India suggest perhaps it may be adaptable for developing countries to achieve the SDGs goals by 2030.
