According to the Report released by NITI Aayog in December 2019 on 'Sustainable Development Goals India Index 2019-20', the Uttar Pradesh is grouped under which of the following categories?

A Aspirant
B Performer
C Front runner
D Achiever

Correct answer: (b) Performer

Explanation

  1. A

    Aspirant

    Aspirant in the 2019–20 SDG India Index meant a composite score below 50. Uttar Pradesh was not placed in that bottom band.

  2. B

    Performer

    Performer meant a score of 50–64. NITI Aayog’s SDG India Index 2019–20 grouped Uttar Pradesh in this band. That is the official key.

  3. C

    Front runner

    Front Runner meant 65–99. Several States sat there; UP was not classified in that band in this report.

  4. D

    Achiever

    Achiever was reserved for a perfect 100, which no State had on the composite index.

Summary. Official key is (b) Performer. The 2019–20 index used four labels: Aspirant, Performer, Front Runner, Achiever. UP’s composite score fell in the Performer range. Honour the stored letter (b).
