Six Integrated Outputs Driving Sustainable Development

SDGCAC's Work is Structured Around Six Interconnected Outputs

SDGCAC's Work is Structured Around Six Interconnected Outputs

Each addressing critical development challenges while advancing the vision of a Viksit Haryana.

These outputs are not isolated initiatives—they are mutually reinforcing pillars of a comprehensive, evidence-led approach to sustainable governance.

Output 1

Data and Governance Strengthening

Building Haryana's
Data Backbone for the SDGs

Data is the foundation of good governance — it enables accountability, transparency, and trust. SDGCAC's first output focuses on strengthening Haryana's data infrastructure and governance systems to ensure that every policy decision is informed by evidence.

The Challenge

Haryana's progress toward SDG targets is often constrained by fragmented data systems, limited interoperability between departments, and uneven analytical capacity. Many planning processes still rely on static reports rather than real-time monitoring. This makes it difficult to track outcomes, adjust interventions, or measure performance consistently across sectors.

Focus Areas

Data & Performance Management

Develop dynamic dashboards integrating SDG indicators, budget performance, and district-wise analytics.

Governance & Accountability

Create mechanisms for regular departmental reviews and open data publication.

Capacity Building & Knowledge Management

Use AI-enabled tools and digitized training modules to build analytical and reporting skills across government levels.

Impact

A more responsive, transparent, and agile governance ecosystem — capable of learning from data, acting on insights, and driving results.

Output 2

SDG Localization for Resilient Growth

Making Sustainability
Local and Measurable

Resilience begins in communities. SDGCAC's second pillar ensures that SDG integration happens where it matters most — in districts, cities, and villages. By equipping local governments with data, planning tools, and participatory processes, Haryana is embedding the 2030 Agenda into local realities.

The Challenge

Local development planning often faces capacity constraints, fragmented data, and limited citizen participation. Many Panchayats and Urban Local Bodies lack the tools or expertise to align their programs with the SDGs. Moreover, climate and disaster risks are not always integrated into district or community planning.

Focus Areas

SDG Integration & Planning Capacity

Develop integrated district and urban plans aligned with the SDGs and Vision 2047.

Resilience & Inclusive Governance

Build district vulnerability indices and inclusive planning frameworks.

Community Participation & Innovation

Pilot Model SDG Panchayats and thematic community initiatives in gender, waste management, and renewable energy.

Impact

A resilient, locally empowered Haryana where every citizen — rural or urban — contributes to, and benefits from, sustainable development.

Output 3

Sustainable Financing and Innovative Solutions

Financing the Future of
Sustainable Development

Achieving the SDGs requires not only sound policy but also strategic finance. SDGCAC's third output focuses on developing Haryana's sustainable finance ecosystem, bridging public funds with private capital, and fostering innovation-led growth.

The Challenge

While Haryana has strong fiscal institutions, sustainable financing remains fragmented — with limited understanding of SDG-linked expenditure, few PPP models for social infrastructure, and minimal engagement with global green funds. This gap restricts the scaling of transformative ideas and projects.

Focus Areas

Sustainable Finance Roadmap

Create an SDG Investor Map for Haryana and identify 'sunrise sectors' for green and impact investments.

Public–Private Partnerships & Asset Monetization

Develop frameworks to leverage private expertise and capital for infrastructure and renewable energy.

Global Engagement & South–South Cooperation

Position Haryana in international networks to share models and attract global funding.

Impact

A dynamic investment landscape where innovation, finance, and sustainability converge — driving inclusive prosperity and long-term resilience.

Output 4

Green Economy and Climate-Friendly Transition

Driving Haryana's Transition
to a Low-Carbon Future

Haryana's economic transformation must go hand in hand with environmental stewardship. SDGCAC's fourth output promotes a green economy — advancing renewable energy, sustainable industries, and climate resilience at scale.

The Challenge

Haryana faces the dual challenge of rapid industrialization and ecological strain. Air and groundwater quality are under pressure, carbon emissions are rising, and fragmented climate policies limit coordination. There is no unified framework to guide sectors toward net-zero growth.

Focus Areas

Green Growth Hub

Establish a state-wide platform connecting MSMEs and industries with green transition pathways, incentives, and expertise.

Renewable Energy & Carbon Reduction

Scale renewable energy capacity, promote circular economy models, and strengthen carbon market readiness.

Rural–Urban Climate Solutions

Develop pilots in eco-tourism, sustainable agriculture, and waste-to-energy management that bridge rural innovation with urban opportunity.

Impact

A climate-smart Haryana that not only reduces its carbon footprint but also generates green jobs, enhances competitiveness, and safeguards natural resources for future generations

Output 5

Sustainable Skilling and Living

Equipping Citizens for the

Green and Digital Economies

Human development is at the heart of Haryana's SDG strategy. This pillar focuses on preparing the state's workforce for future jobs, empowering youth and women, and promoting sustainable lifestyles.

The Challenge

Haryana's workforce faces a growing mismatch between academic curricula and industry needs, especially in emerging green and digital sectors. Participation of women in technical and entrepreneurial spaces remains low, and pathways for skill-to-employment transitions are fragmented.

Focus Areas

Green and Future Skilling

Develop training programs aligned with the green economy, climate technologies, and circular business models.

Employment & Entrepreneurship

Launch the SDG Entrepreneurship Hub, Eco-Innovation Challenges, and Youth Employment Centres.

Industry–Academia Convergence

Build collaborations for curriculum co-design, apprenticeships, and just transition training.

Impact

A skilled, entrepreneurial Haryana workforce driving sustainable growth, gender equality, and innovation in the economy of tomorrow.

Output 6

Gender Equality and Outreach

Empowering Voices,

Building Inclusion

Gender equality is not just one of Haryana's development priorities — it is its foundation. SDGCAC's final pillar focuses on mainstreaming gender into every program, strengthening advocacy, and amplifying women's leadership across sectors.

The Challenge

Despite progress, Haryana continues to face gender gaps in workforce participation, leadership, and representation. Limited gender data, under-documentation of success stories, and low youth engagement in advocacy have hindered progress toward true inclusion.

Focus Areas

Gender Policy Development & Mainstreaming

Formulate and update gender and third-gender policy frameworks across departments.

Capacity Building & Awareness

Conduct trainings for women leaders, SHGs, and Mahila Sarpanch forums.

Knowledge Generation & Learning

Produce digital publications, newsletters, and case studies on women's empowerment and inclusive growth.

Social Media Outreach & Partnerships

Collaborate with NGOs, universities, and youth networks to build a culture of awareness and participation.

Impact

A gender-just Haryana where every policy and every platform reflects equity, representation, and the power of collective voices.
