A New Push for Maharashtra's Sustainable Development Goals! Chaired a review meeting on Maharashtra's progress in the NITI Aayog Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) India Index as part of the Social Sector War Room in Mumbai, today. Directed every department to adopt department-wise, outcome-based planning over the next four years to ensure Maharashtra secures the top position in the country across all SDG indicators. With the next four years being crucial to achieving the 2030 SDG targets, special emphasis has been placed on accelerating development in 10 aspirational districts and 177 aspirational talukas, while aligning future budget planning with these goals. To strengthen implementation, directed departments to study the best practices adopted by leading states, build stronger primary, secondary and real-time data collection systems, identify and address data gaps, and ensure continuous monitoring supported by timely course correction. Emphasised that governance must move beyond measuring outputs and focus on outcomes and impact, with every intervention evaluated by the measurable improvement it brings to people's lives across health, education, infrastructure and social development. Further directed that the NITI Aayog SDG Index should serve as the guiding framework for Maharashtra's development planning. Performance on SDG indicators will be reviewed every three months, with regular monitoring, while SDG performance will become a mandatory Key Performance Indicator (KPI) in the appraisal system of government officials. Senior officials were present. #Maharashtra# #Mumbai# #SustainableDevelopmentGoals#
