About the Seminar
The International Institute for Population Sciences (IIPS) is pleased to announce its national seminar with the theme, "Tracking progress of Sustainable Development Goals with a focus on Uttar Pradesh." in collaboration with Department of Statistics, Banaras Hindu University (BHU). Envisioned in 2015, the sustainable development goals (SDGs) list a set of 17 interconnected goals in a wide range of social, economic, and environmental spectrum. In India, the SDGs indicators have been integrated in national and state planning framework. However, the progress in achieving the SDGs is largely uneven across the states and socio-economic groups. Demographic changes in Northern States of India may act as catalyst in realising the SDGs. The primary objective of this national seminar is to deliberate on India's progress in realizing the SDGs with a special emphasis on Uttar Pradesh.
Uttar Pradesh, India’s most populous state in India, accounting for nearly 16 percent of country’s population, has been undergoing fast demographic transition. The state is characterised by large variation in fertility and mortality level across districts and sub-population. The state is also experiencing fast economic growth and reduction in multidimensional poverty. These demographic and economic changes may accelerate in the journey of Uttar Pradesh towards achieving the SDGs. Its contribution in India’s population may reflect the state’s commitment to population, development and inclusive growth. To ensure that no one is left behind, the state needs to remain dedicated to address the complex challenges it faces on the path to sustainable development.
This national seminar offers a valuable platform to academia, researchers, development sector professionals and policy makers. It will serve as an ideal forum for these diverse stakeholders to engage in meaningful dialogues and deliberations regarding the future trajectory of Uttar Pradesh’s development. The collaborative efforts can address the state’s unique challenges and harness its potential for inclusive and sustainable development.
