INDIA'S PROGRESS TOWARDS SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT THROUGH ICT ACCESS AND QUALITY EDUCATION FOR COVID-19 RECOVERY

ABSTRACT

It was just as we were about to enter the fifth year of the SDGs that we were made hostages to the virus that was finagling its way into our life. Many scholarly papers, reports, and investigations have highlighted the impact of Covid-19 on global governance. When the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is fully implemented, this article aims to investigate the post-Covid world's potential for SDGs as a catalyst for minimising trade-off and maximising synergies. As part of the Indian government's effort to navigate this difficult time, the author uses a multidisciplinary approach to try and map the impact of Covid-19 on SDGs. Following a review of global economic trends, the article focuses on the impact of the crisis on India's economy, specifically. An effort has been made to highlight the importance of SDGs as a post-Covid recovery and development path in India.
