In this article, published reports have been used for analysing state-wise status of SDGs achievements and their correlations with attainments in areas of poverty-reduction and other developmental indicators. Also, progress made by GPs on various metrics related to SDGs has been corroborated with other relevant metrics. For effective functioning and service-delivery capacity of panchayats, it is necessary that they are sufficiently empowered with functions and responsibilities as per aspirations of the provisions of the 73rd Constitutional Amendment, 1993, strengthened with basic infrastructure and technical manpower to harness the full potential of digitisation and also incentivised for augmenting their own sources of revenue. – Reproduced https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/00195561231196222 Sustainable development goals, Panchayati raj Institutions 47988 Indian Journal of Public Administration PANCHAYATS AR 0 0 ddc 0 0 399737 IIPA IIPA 2024-01-11 69(4), Dec, 2023: p.877-902 AR130508 2024-01-11 AR
