The 2030 Agenda for sustainable development was launched to achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) across the globe. This paper is based on the primary database to assess the nutritional status of 5-10 years children and the incidence of deprivation in their households of a backward district (Purulia), India in the context of the first two SDGs, no poverty and zero hunger. We conclude that around 74% of children are undernourished. The proportion of households multidimensionally deprived is 90%, and the majority of them live on less than $1.25 a day. Results reveal that the BMI of mother and the education of father are the two most statistically significant predictors of child malnutrition. Purulia has long been witnessing the persistent nature of deprivation, which is well reflected in the child's health. The district is quite far from the national targets in achieving the SDGs. Government, private sector, and civil society must come together to accelerate the progress of SDGs.
《2030年可持续发展议程》的推出是为了在全球实现可持续发展目标（SDGs）。本文基于主要数据库，在“消除贫困”和“零饥饿”这前两个可持续发展目标的背景下，评估印度一个落后地区（普鲁利亚）5至10岁儿童的营养状况及其家庭的贫困发生率。我们得出的结论是，约74%的儿童营养不良。多维贫困家庭的比例为90%，其中大多数家庭每天生活费不足1.25美元。结果显示，母亲的体重指数和父亲的受教育程度是儿童营养不良最具统计学意义的两个预测因素。长期以来，普鲁利亚一直存在持续的贫困状况，这在儿童健康方面得到了充分体现。该地区在实现可持续发展目标方面与国家目标相差甚远。政府、私营部门和民间社会必须共同努力，加快可持续发展目标的推进进程。
