- Localisation of SDGs is crucial.
- This involves adapting, planning, implementing, and monitoring SDGs at local levels.
- State governments and local bodies are key actors in this process.
- States and UTs have created discrete institutional structures for SDG implementation.
- Many states have created nodal mechanisms within departments and at district levels.
- This makes coordination, convergence, and data management more precise.
- The Central Government plays an enabling role.
- The SDG India Index and Dashboard helps monitor their performance.
