In Uttar Pradesh, the Department of Planning is the nodal agency responsible for the implementation, monitoring, and coordination of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Specifically, the Perspective Planning Division and the Directorate of Economics and Statistics (DES) under the Planning Department prepare the National Indicator Framework (NIF) Progress Report for the state. This report tracks Uttar Pradesh's performance against the indicators established by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI).

While the Department of Finance is involved in SDG-linked budgeting and the Department of Education provides sector-specific data (e.g., for SDG 4), they do not compile or prepare the comprehensive progress report. The task of coordinating with all line departments, collating data, and publishing the official progress report rests solely with the Planning Department.
