Niti Aayog Vice Chairman Rajiv Kumar has said, while presenting Voluntary National Review (VNR) at the United Nations High-level Political Forum (HLPF) on Sustainable Development, 2020 hosted digitally, with several participants from other countries, there is a need to translate the coronavirus-led pandemic situation into an opportunity to meet the sustainable development goals. HLPF is the international platform for follow-up and review of progress on the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
He mentioned ‘we should all obliterate all divisions and distinctions amongst us and come together to try and convert the prevailing situation into an opportunity for accelerating our progress towards achieving the SDG targets.’ Expressing solidarity with all the countries grappling with challenges brought about by the pandemic, he highlighted the key features of India’s response to the pandemic under the Aatmanirbhar Bharat campaign.
He also dwelt on the remarkable progress India has achieved in reducing multi-dimensional poverty, providing food safety, ensuring education for all, universalising access to electricity, clean cooking fuel and sanitation, while also operationalising the world’s largest health insurance programme by covering 500 million citizens.
