Kaveri Foods Ltd funds a project that gives drinking water connections and community toilets in rural Odisha. The CSR committee wants to map it to the most directly relevant SDG. Which goal fits best?
SDG 6, Clean Water and Sanitation, fits best. The project delivers drinking water connections and community toilets, which are exactly what SDG 6 targets: access to safe water and sanitation. The other goals relate to energy, infrastructure or climate and do not capture the core outcome.
- ASDG 6 - Clean Water and SanitationCorrect
- BSDG 7 - Affordable and Clean Energy
- CSDG 9 - Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
- DSDG 13 - Climate Action
Explanation
Drinking water and toilets directly serve SDG 6, which covers availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation. SDG 7 concerns energy, SDG 9 infrastructure and industry, SDG 13 climate. These are not the primary outcome of the project.
