Abstract
At the inception on 25th September 2015, India has strongly committed to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. It has achieved a rapid economic growth since 1991, but the growth has not accompanied by structural changes or regional equality. The nation has succeeded on the platform of achieving most of the targets of Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), such as elimination of poverty, reduction in gender inequality in primary and secondary education, access to clean drinking water etc. However, it has failed on the platform of bridging the gap between rural-urban disparities. Rural-urban inequality is the on the important obstacle for many countries for achieving the SDGs. This study attempts to highlight the rural-urban disparities in many basic needs and services such as poverty reduction, employment opportunities, health and education which are essential for SDGs.
