MICRO-LEVEL IMPACT OF SDG-ORIENTED POLICIES ON LIVELIHOOD AND POVERTY: A PRIMARY STUDY IN MUMBAI, MAHARASHTRA
Asst Prof Sunita Yadav
ABSTRACT
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), adopted by the United Nations in 2015, set a global agenda to eliminate poverty, reduce inequality, and ensure inclusive development by 2030. Among them, SDG 1: No Poverty is especially critical for India, where a significant portion of the population still lives under challenging socio-economic conditions. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of India’s poverty alleviation policies, especially in Maharashtra, with a focus on urban regions like Mumbai. Through primary data collection involving surveys and interviews, this research assesses how well schemes such as MGNREGA, PMAY, and Jan Dhan Yojana align with SDG objectives and impact the lives of economically weaker sections. The study seeks to identify gaps in implementation and suggest more localized, need-based strategies for poverty reduction.
