and changes in the socio-economic determinants of health. women's health has belonged not only to maternity and child health. This broader perspective includes health issues that affect women beyond their reproductive years, as well as those that affect men. (https://www.thelancet.com/pdfs/journals/lancet/PIIS014 0- 6736(15)60497-4.pdf ) In India, women's health, (Bhasin, 2019). is a big issue as there are a variety of diseases that are communicable like tuberculosis, malaria, HIV, and many non-communicable diseases like blood pressure, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. On the other hand, over 50,000 people die per day in India of diseases that emerge from pathogens and animals. Dengue and Chikungunya are also on the increase (Draft National Health Policy, 2015). India accounts for most of the infant deaths globally. Diarrhea and pneumonia continue to be the biggest killers in children. Malnutrition is also a factor of ill health and mortality. As per the District level Health Survey of 2013-14, in Tamil Nadu, which has made good progress in the health sector, 49.2 percent of women in their reproductive age-15-49 are anemic. That's why they give birth to underweight children. The government with its state Government has started Swachh Bharat Abhiyan (Clean India Movement) to ensure the health of its people. India has taken health as its basic duty to achieve SDGs. In Post the UN Sustainable Development Summit, a Draft National Health Policy was put in 2015, which talks about programmes for addressing CD and NCDs with the laudable aim of "the attainment of the highest possible level of good health and well-being, through a preventive and promotive health care orientation in all development policies, and universal access to good quality health care services without anyone having to face financial hardship as a consequence." It recognizes the salience of preventive and promotive health, integration of AYUSH with mainstream, and ensuring adequate investment. For safe drinking water, The National Rural Drinking Water Programme ensures, at least 90 percent of rural households are provided with the piped water supply that by 2022 as many states like Bihar has only 2.60 percent piped water. http://ris.org.in/pdf/SDGs_Report_Chapter_3.pdf Many programmes were implemented in India, such as The Ministry of Women and Child Development, Government of India began a scheme called "Kishori Shakti Yojna" (KSY) in 2000, which was a Nutrition Programme for Adolescent Girls to empower them. Thereafter, (NPAG) was launched as a pilot project in 51 identified districts across the country in 2002-03 to address the problem of under-nourishment. Underweight adolescent girls are given 6 kg of free food grains per month as part of the programme. Both projects have had some impact on the lives of adolescent girls (AGs), but not to the extent that was hoped for. 4) Quality Education and Women: This is the most important goal because the development of any society depends on the level of education of its population. So, the Right to education must be provided to all genders without any biasness. In any society, various kinds of people exist who have different educational needs. These needs should be fulfilled 246 at every level primary, secondary or higher education in their required languages. It will enhance not only social status but the economic status of the communities because all the members can work equally. In Education for Sustainable Development Goals: Learning Objectives (UNESCO 2017a) stated about cognitive, socio-emotional, and behavioral learning to achieve the target of getting knowledge and upskilling children, youth, and adults with the idea of "lifelong learning for all" will be achieved by micro, meso, and macro-level perspectives, specifically referring to the role of (1) individuals and their families (the micro-level); (2) schools, education, and training initiatives (the Meso level); and (3) regulating governments (the macro level) (Boeren, 2019). In this way when Government take initiative with the help of academic institution, definitely individuals will get quality education whether they belong to either gender. "The story of India's educational achievements is one of mixed success. On the downside, India has 22 percent of the world's population, but 46 percent of the world's illiterates, and is home to a high proportion of the world's out-of-school children and youth. On the positive side, it has made encouraging recent progress in raising schooling participation". The article also mentioned the data from the Education for All Global Monitoring Report (UNESCO, 2006)where the literacy rate of 15+ age which is 61.0 percent in total, 73.4 percent male and 47.8 percent female. Although age between 15-24 years literacy rate in total is76.4 in which 84.2 percent are male and 67.7 percent are women. The government of India introduced many programmes (Smith, A. 2010). For universalization of elementary education, encourage higher education in its directive principle of State Policy in Article 45, Constitutional Amendment 2002 to make education as a Fundamental Right and enactment of RTE (Right to Education) Act. For that Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA-Education for all) has been launched, with States/Union Territories since 2000-01. Its overall aims are to enroll all children in school and eradicate all gender and social category gaps at primary and upper primary stages two special schemes, supported under SSA. These are: The National Programme for Education of Girls at Elementary Level (NPEGEL) was launched in 2003 which Volume XXI Issue V Version I 66 ( ) Global Journal of Human Social Science - Year 2021 C © 2021 Global Journals Interconnectivity among Sustainable Development Goals through Women’s Perspective
