Multi-stakeholder partnership are key to leveraging collective expertise and networks. How can effective partnership and localized implementation be fastened to accelerate achievements of SDGs in India?

The given question is in context of the recent regularly published by NITI Aayog - and 'Indian model of localizing SDGs.' State of effective partnership in accelerated implementation of SDGs: I: Intra-govt partnership: Via collaboration between state govt departments; Breaking out of silos; (e.g.) Aspirational District Program, Aspirational Block Program; Convergence, collaboration (partnerships helping in realizing SDGs for most backward districts) II: Govt-civil society partnership: Via NITI Aayog (Darpan portal); To ensure civil society and state play complementary role

Complementary role: Civil society, fast-paced implementation of SDGs (e.g.) Akshay Patra - Mid Day meal, SDG 2 zero hunger (e.g.) Kailash Satyarthi - Bachpan Bachao, SDG 8 III: Govt-Corporate partnership: Via CSR - Companies Act 2013; Spending 2% on CSR in 2 YL; Accelerating SDG realization (e.g.) Tata Family - Waltman project, wherein LCCN shares of matrons charges from initially worsened to least concern, SDG 15 IV: Govt-Citizen partnership: Via (Bundle of society approach) Via boundaries, Jan Andolan; Jan Bhagidari, Jal Andolan; Neelam Yadav - Jal to SDG 6 sanitation Beti Bachao Beti Padhao - led to SDG 5 (women empowerment) Localized implementation be accelerate SDGs: At the grassroots level via local bodies: Gram Panchayat LLGs, local audit, local specific agriculture and nutrition, SDG 2 zero hunger (e.g.) Crops specific to agro-climatic zones; Millets; Higher vitamins, iron, ate, better nutrition 3. Local communities empowered to conserve environment: SDG 13, 15; forest restoration (e.g.) via community rights in FRA 2006 4. Decentralization of renewable energy - SDG 7 (e.g.) rooftop solar; biogas; wind; Pv Kulsum - corporate to source of renewable is important 5. Health and wellness centers - SDG 3 (e.g.) Used PHCs upgraded to HWCs; local level prevention and smearing of disease)

Incoherence about the process mechanisms/procedures is lacking 4. In same cases, priority of the process has not been ensured leading to concern among women of stigmatization Factors walking outreach to unorganized sector: 1. Awareness about LCC is very low 2.

Lack of literacy/legal literacy among women employed in unorganized sector 4. Seasonal migration in unorganized sector; Frequent change of jobs 5. Punishment for false complaints: While due provision is necessary, it also contributes to apprehension in unorganized sector, due to few reporting power

Social security/safety net rehabilitation programs for victims To give them psychological confidence to move ahead with their complaints. 4. Legal counseling and support initiatives Governmentised SDGs will help improve utility of POSH Act 2013 for unorganized sector, and make we workplace safer for ~ 30% of female workforce in unorganized sector

In its context examine challenges faced in service delivery and suggest reform.

Challenges for public service delivery: 1. Delays in decision making: Delay in service delivery (due to Red Regime): State institutions are slower than non-state institutions created by neoliberalism and globalization 2.

(Governmental responses) In light of journey to fund, Capital expenditure viz revenue expenditure (Demand and Supply): Inquiry in access to welfare all resources; Water in USA 'currency could be like about wealth all was in 18th century and lowered' - Greater challenge 5. His is leading to focus shifting away from health, education, etc 6. New challenges of climate change, etc., learning as: Vein and Telecom, etc 7.
