Understanding the NITI Aayog SDG Urban Index
The NITI Aayog (National Institution for Transforming India) plays a crucial role in policy making and implementing developmental programs in India. One of its key initiatives is the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Urban Index. This index aims to track the progress of cities in India towards achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The 2021-22 edition specifically focuses on the performance of urban areas across various SDG parameters.
SDG Urban Progress in Indian Cities
The SDG Urban Index and Dashboard 2021-22 evaluates cities based on their performance in achieving various development goals, such as poverty reduction, good health, quality education, clean water, sanitation, and sustainable economic growth within urban environments. Cities are ranked based on their composite scores, reflecting their overall progress.
According to the 2021-22 index findings, Tiruchirappalli has been recognized for its strong performance and included among the leading cities in the SDG Urban Index. This highlights the city's efforts and achievements in sustainable urban development initiatives.
The index helps policymakers understand the strengths and weaknesses of different cities in SDG implementation, enabling targeted interventions and promoting healthy competition among urban areas to accelerate progress towards a sustainable future.
Important Questions from Geometry
ABCDEF is a regular hexagon. Side of the hexagon is 36 cm. What is the area of the triangle AOB ?
If ∆ABC ~ ∆DEF, and BC = 4 cm, EF = 5 cm and the area of triangle ABC = 80 cm 2, then the area of the triangle DEF is:
If Δ ABC is right angled at B, AB = 12 cm and ∠CAB = 60°, determine the length of BC.
If ΔABC and ΔDEF are congruent triangles, then which of the following is FALSE?
D and E are points on the sides AB and AC, respectively, of ΔABC such that DE is parallel to BC and AD ∶ DB = 7 ∶ 9. If CD and BE intersect each other at F. then find the ratio of areas of ΔDEF and ΔCBF.
