SDG Alignment

All 17 Sustainable Development Goals

Sanatan Kutumb vision, inspired by ancient Indian civilizational values, also aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals. Our programmes map across the full SDG framework—not only education or environment in isolation.

The only way to predict the future is to create it.

May all be happy; may all be free from illness.

The world is one family.

Poverty, measurement, and dignity

NITI Aayog defines poverty through both a conventional consumption-based poverty line (minimum expenditure for basic needs) and the National Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI), which measures deprivation across twelve indicators. Sanatan Kutumb aligns field work with this dual lens: immediate relief and longer-term capability building.

Maternal nutrition and women's health

Undernutrition in pregnancy is common where household budgets are tight. Low iron intake can contribute to anaemia, with risks that include greater fatigue, low birth weight, and preterm delivery when severe deficiency is left unaddressed. Sanatan Kutumb does not replace qualified medical care; we work alongside it—through camps and home visits we help women understand balanced meals on modest budgets, encourage timely antenatal blood tests, and where appropriate help with access to doctor-prescribed iron and folic acid so treatment is not skipped for lack of cash. We stress following the treating clinician on dose and duration, including any postpartum continuation they advise.

If dizziness, weakness, or breathlessness persist, beneficiaries are urged to seek immediate care from a qualified provider.

From farm and home to enterprise

Women farmers and homemakers are supported to become entrepreneurs through SHGs, FPO linkages, skills, and market access—consistent with SDGs 5 and 8.

Digital inclusion

Empowerment begins with access—to information, services, and opportunity. Digital literacy and safe use of mobile and internet tools help women and girls access education, government schemes, and livelihood platforms (SDGs 4, 5, 8, 9).
