This book provides a comprehensive perspective by taking an interdisciplinary approach to issues of attaining SDGs in India. It starts with policy priorities and opportunities for interlinking of different SDGs with sustainable industrial transformation. Subsequently, various chapters present a blend of analytical methods that are primarily rooted in economics and yet have an inter-disciplinary approach, highlighting pathways towards achieving SDGs, especially SDG1, SDG2, SDG3, SDG4, SDG10, SDG11, SDG13, and SDG15. Gender equality and empowerment of women is a common cross-cutting issue across all three themes towards achieving SDG targets. Chapters are divided into three themes climate change, health and nutrition, and poverty and inequality, with a special chapter devoted to each theme providing the overall picture. The book’s content is a great resource for students, researchers, policymakers, and development practitioners studying these SDGs related to India as the country movesforward on its growth path.
