New Delhi, July 21 -- India's advancement across multiple Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) has been driven by a dual approach combining strong safety nets with growth-oriented reforms that create a more enabling environment, NITI Aayog Vice Chairman Suman Bery said.

Speaking at a high-level side event titled "SDGs: Keeping up the Momentum for Agenda 2030" on the sidelines of the UN High-Level Political Forum (HLPF) on Sustainable Development, Bery emphasised that India's development model is both inclusive and self-designed.

"India's progress has been enabled by a dual strategy: strong safety nets to protect the most vulnerable and structural reforms that foster growth by creating an enabling business environment," Bery said.
