United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development in
Rio de Janerio in 2012. The objective was to produce a set
of universal goals that meet the urgent environmental,
political and Economic Challenges facing our World. After
negotiations with time period of more than 2 years the
Goals were taken in September 2015.

development that meets the needs of the present without
compromising the ability of future generations to meet
their own needs.

they came up with State wise comparison.
Method of Indexing: -

 For indicators whose higher values is good for India is

𝑥−min 𝑥
denoted by, 𝐼𝑥 = ∗ 100
𝑇 𝑥 −min 𝑥
𝑥−𝑇 𝑥
 And for the other case it is 𝐼𝑥 = 1 − ∗ 100
max 𝑥 −𝑇 𝑥
 T(x): Target Value of that Indicator
 Min (x): Minimum Observed value of the indicator
