Question from UPPSC Prelims 2025
Explanation:
The Department of Planning is the nodal department for SDG implementation and monitoring in Uttar Pradesh. Through the Directorate of Economics & Statistics and the SDG Coordination Centre, it compiles data aligned to the National Indicator Framework (NIF) and publishes the state’s NIF/SIF progress reports. The Department of Finance focuses on budgeting and fiscal management, not cross-sector SDG indicator tracking. The Department of Education deals with sector-specific outcomes (SDG 4) but does not prepare the overall NIF progress report. Hence, only the Department of Planning prepares the NIF Progress Report in UP.
