Abstract
In today’s world, there is an immense need to sustain the ecology and environment. The development in India should be made to ensure ecological sustainability. The Millennium Development Goals (MDG’s) have played an important role in uplifting people from poverty, hunger, death and illness and illiteracy. To address the emerging challenges of sustainable development the SDG’s were brought in post 2015 which are more focussed, concrete and include 17 goals leading to holistic development addressing key issues. This paper is an attempt to understand the shift from MDG’s to SDG’s, Implementation of SDG’s and its challenges in India.
