Since ancient times, humans have tried to be better than others and moved forward with the creation
                  of tools that aided them to stay ahead of every other living being. In an attempt to make life easier,
                  humans tried to make machines intelligent and smarter. These days we have machines that can think
                  and give responses similar to those of a human being. This is how the concept of smart machines
                  came into existence. In this chapter, we are going to learn how that change happened and how we
                  have come so far.

                  What are Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)?

                  In  2015,  the  General  Assembly  adopted  the  2030  Agenda  for  Sustainable  Development,  which
                  includes 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These are based on the principle of “Leaving no
                  one behind”, where it emphasises a holistic approach to achieve SDGs.

                  The 17 SDGs were established to transform the world into a better place to live for everyone.
                  The following are the 17 SDGs as laid by the United Nations 2030 Agenda.


































                  Let us learn about these in detail.
                  Goal 1

                  This  SDG  aims  to  eradicate  extreme  poverty  for  all  people  in  the  world.
                  Currently, 7 percent of the world’s population live in poverty and are deprived
                  of basic needs.  Achieving this would mean a poverty-free world by 2030.


                                       Goal 2
                                       This  SDG  aims  to  end  hunger,  achieve  food  security,  improve  nutrition  and
                                       promote sustainable agriculture. It also aims to seek sustainable solutions to
                                       end hunger by 2030.
