Context Tamil Nadu, houses 6% of the country’s population, has been one of the top performing states against SDG goals with a composite SDG score of 67, overall India ranking being 4th (Niti Aayog SDG Index 2019-20). Tamil Nadu also ranks as a top state in the SDG Goal 1 – No poverty. Over 4% of the total CSR spend has been allocated in the state. However, its performance is low on the SDG Goals of 2 (Zero Hunger), 5 (Gender Equality) and 13 (Climate Action). The state’s average on children health and nutrition has been far lower than the country’s average. Additionally, Tamil Nadu was also one of the worst affected states due to Covid-19 affecting the marginalised community at large. In the post covid scenario, it is imperative for Tamil Nadu to focus on combining diverse resources in creating effective approach to usher in tech led transformational impact in the most backward areas. Multi-stakeholder partnerships to bring in localised impact would be the corner stone for the state to retain its position as top performers on SDG index.
