AN EVALUATION OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF HEALTH IN JHARKHAND STATE OF INDIA

Abstract

This research examines the convergence of sustainable development and health within the specific context of Jharkhand state, India. Jharkhand, a state blessed with abundant natural resources, encounters substantial obstacles in attaining sustainable development while safeguarding the health and welfare of its inhabitants. The study investigates multiple facets, including healthcare accessibility, environmental sustainability, demographic variables, and governance concerns that impact both health outcomes and sustainable development in the region. The study consolidates current literature and empirical data to provide approaches for advancing sustainable development practices that prioritize equitable health, environmental preservation, and socio-economic progress in Jharkhand. The study seeks to contribute to the discussion on achieving sustainable development goals and improving public health outcomes in resource-rich but vulnerable regions like Jharkhand by tackling these interconnected concerns.
