The objective of SDGs was to produce a set of universally applicable goals that balance the three dimensions of sustainable development that is environmental, social, and economic through proper planning and integration of schemes.
The Chief Minister said the Haryana government is working with the spirit of 'Antodaya' to ensure that the benefit of various welfare schemes of the state government reach the beneficiaries at grass root level.
Khattar said he personally reviewed the CM e-Dashboard' to monitor key parameters of various departments and ensure effective delivery of services and added that key parameters of most of the departments would be on the CM e-Dashboard by the end of this year.
The CM also asked Cilliers to evolve a mechanism to carry out survey at the grass root level to assess effect of various programmes on improvement in key development indicators.
Khattar said the government is actively working on various parameters like gender equality, poverty, quality education and industry.
He assured Jaco Cilliers of full cooperation of the state government in the implementation of this programme.
