Copenhagen Consensus President, Dr Bjorn Lomborg presented the policies and interventions which generate the most social, economic and environmental good for the States.
Both Dr Kumar and ShriKant appreciated the process, reaffirmed that they want to see it used for the SDGs, for other states, and for aspirational districts. Several states also indicated they would be interested in taking prioritization forward.
India Consensus has been invited by NITI Aayog to assess the social benefit-cost ratios for priority indicators of Sustainable Development Goals for India. The social benefit-cost ratio (BCR), is an indicator of the cost-effectiveness of an intervention, as it demonstrates the amount of social, economic and environmental benefits achieved per Rupee invested.
