ACHIEVING SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS IN HEALTHCARE INFRASTRUCTURE: A STUDY OF SELECTED NIFTY-50 COMPANIES

Dr. Sanbad Banerjee

We are dedicated to achieving sustainable development across three dimensions—economic, social, and environmental fields—through a balanced and integrated approach, with the goal of bringing radical change in the world, specifically in these three areas. As part of the 2030 Agenda of United Nations, our country aims to advance in social and economic development and is committed to achieving the seventeen Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This paper focuses on the role of Indian corporate entities in the accomplishment of these SDGs, particularly in relation to healthcare infrastructure. We have examined the contribution of the top ten Nifty-50 companies, analysing their corporate social responsibility efforts in supporting SDGs. A theoretical comparison of the contribution of these selected companies towards good health and wellbeing of the society has been carried out through descriptive analysis involving statistical measures -relative proportions and rank correlation. Hypothesis testing namely test for binomial proportions and t-statistic are further employed on the existing data set for inferential insights. Additionally, the study identifies the lack of awareness in the implementation of corporate SDG plans and suggests necessary action plans for improving budget planning and expenditures on healthcare development projects.
