Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The SDG India Index, developed by NITI Aayog, tracks the progress of Indian States and UTs across the Sustainable Development Goals [2]. While the global framework consists of 17 goals, the NITI Aayog index specifically computes scores for 16 SDGs (Goal 1 to 16), as Goal 17 (Partnerships for the Goals) is typically measured at the national level. The goals included in the index are Zero Hunger (SDG 2), Responsible Consumption and Production (SDG 12), and Life Below Water (SDG 14) [2]. 'Reduced unemployment' is not a standalone goal in the SDG framework. Instead, employment-related targets, such as reducing the unemployment rate and promoting full and productive employment, are sub-components of SDG 8, which is titled 'Decent Work and Economic Growth'. Therefore, 'Reduced unemployment' is not the name of an included goal in the index.
