'ASSAM-2030 in light of SDGs' is the Vision of the Government of Assam for a developed and prosperous state with happy, healthy, cared-for and gainfully employed people. This will be through achievement of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on 25 September 2015. The Government of Assam is fully committed to the SDGs, and has decided to achieve all the goals in Assam by 2030, though a major all-round initiative.
The Sustainable Development Goals to be attained by 2030 are as follows:
- Eradication of extreme poverty for all people everywhere, currently measured as people living on less than $ 1. 25 a day.
