India is a signatory of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2030 which is a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity. Indian model of SDG localization is built around four foundational pillars: (i) creating institutional ownership; (ii) driving competition through collaborative competition; (iii) building capacities; (iv) adopting a whole-of-society approach. Ministry of Panchayati Raj (MoPR) is committed to the achievement of SDGs through the revamped Rashtriya Gram Swaraj Abhiyan (RGSA) Scheme. The RGSA scheme mandates to capacitate elected representatives for good governance through attainment of SDGs through participatory local planning at Gram Panchayat level. The focus of revamped scheme is on reimagining Panchayati Raj Institutions as vibrant centres of local self-governance and economic growth with special focus on Localization of Sustainable Development Goals (LSDGs) at grassroots level adopting 9 thematic approaches as per Niti Aayog.
We foster social cohesion, integration, and sustainability and community empowerment that promotes participation by fostering a sense of community and belonging to the village. It is necessary to mobilize all the opportunities and strengths provided by all stakeholders to promote transformations.
We support Gram Panchayat in balanced use of different renewable, take advantage of local resources and minimizing
the environmental impact and in the territory with transparency, accountability and gender centric social inclusion.

Thematic implemented of LSDGs
1. Poverty free and enhanced livelihoods village
Poverty is a multi-dimensional phenomenon. There are several economic, social, gender and other deprivations contributing to poverty. The problems of poverty and unemployment are inter-linked and need a concrete action plan.
2. Healthy village
Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. Maintaining and ensuring the health of our citizens ensures the success of all the programmes of the Gram Panchayat and will yield long term dividends.
3. Child friendly village
It is essential to ensure that all children are able to enjoy their rights for survival, development, participation and protection to reach their full potential. Poverty denies children from their fundamental rights to nutrition, health, water, education, protection and shelter.
4. Water sufficient village
Water is essential for human life. Various water sources include rain, streams, rivers, lakes, ponds, open wells, bore wells, tube wells etc. Every household needs water for a number of purposes like cooking, drinking, washing of utensils, cleaning of the house, bathing, washing of clothes, personal sanitation, for household animals and watering plants around the house.
5. Clean and green village
The key initiatives include Open Defecation Free Village, Clean and Green School, Clean and Green Anganwadi, Scientific Management of Solid Waste, Wastewater Management. Village Swachhata Committee/Swachhagrahis take responsibility for Clean & Green village; inspects public toilets, school toilets, solid waste collection in practice, wastewater recycle /reuse.

Greening Development for tree plantation, tree plantation including fruit bearing trees, Promotion of Organic Farming & Progressive Reduction of Chemicals, Celebrate Clean and Green Living
6. Self-sufficient infrastructure in village
Self-sufficient infrastructure in the village through proper sewage system with closed and covered drains, Sub-centres and PHC with recommended clinical facilities (beds, curtains, etc.), Bus shelter and connectivity to main village/road, Computer and internet facility in the Panchayat Bhawan, Basic infrastructure for providing public services relating to water, sanitation, health and nutrition services, education, women and child development, employment, housing, energy, environment, livestock development, Gender responsive, child and disabled friendly infrastructure
7. Socially secure village
Every person in the village must feel cared for and all eligible must be covered by social security systems. Government has a set of policies and programmes designed to reduce poverty and vulnerability by promoting efficient labour markets, reducing people’s exposure to risks and enhancing their capacity to manage economic and social risks, such as unemployment, exclusion, sickness, disability and old age.
8. Village with good governance
Financial audits, social audits and physical inspections are conducted regularly to ensure transparency and accountability with compassionate responsibility/responsiveness and maximum cooperation/participation of citizens. The Gram Panchayat has actively involved weaker sections through self-help groups and serves as an exemplary model of participatory decision-making and ensuing development through good governance. Discharge all responsibilities dutifully especially in providing basic services to all citizens through Time-bound service delivery
9. Women friendly village
The Constitution of India envisages a discrimination-free India. Without ensuring gender equity and equal rights for women, social and developmental disparities cannot be eradicated. Gender equality is not only a fundamental human right, but inevitable for a peaceful and sustainable future. The exclusion of women places half of the world’s population outside the realm of opportunity to partner in building prosperous societies and economies. Equal access to education, decent work, and representation in political and economic decision-making processes are not only rights women should have, they benefit humanity at large.
