For example, Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) provides guaranteed
                   wage employment to rural households, thereby enhancing income and reducing poverty.
                 •  Goal 2—Zero Hunger: This goal ensures all people, especially children, have sufficient and nutritious food. This
                   requires international cooperation for promoting sustainable agriculture so that together we can end all forms
                   of hunger and malnutrition by 2030.
                    It ensures everyone has enough food, which improves health and reduces diseases. Well-fed children do better
                   in school, leading to brighter futures. Healthy people are more productive, boosting the economy. Reducing
                   hunger also creates more stable and peaceful communities.
                    For example, National Food Security Act (NFSA) aims to provide subsidised food grains to approximately two-
                   thirds of the population, ensuring food security and reducing hunger.
                 •  Goal 3—Good Health and Well-being: This goal ensures a minimum number of deaths and illnesses by giving
                   healthy lifestyles, preventive measures from both communicable and non-communicable diseases including
                   hazardous chemicals and air, water, and soil pollution so that it promotes healthy lives and well-being for all
                   people at all ages.

                    It ensures access to quality healthcare, reducing illness and deaths. Healthy people can work and learn better,
                   boosting productivity and economic growth. It also promotes mental well-being, leading to happier and more
                   fulfilled lives.
                    For example, Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PM-JAY) provides health insurance coverage
                   to  over  500  million  vulnerable  individuals,  promoting  access  to  quality  healthcare  and  improving  health
                   outcomes.

                                                                             For Sustainable Development



                 •  Goal 4—Quality Education: This goal ensures good quality education for all, so that the youth and adults
                   of all nations have relevant skills, including technical and vocational skills, for employment, decent jobs and
                   entrepreneurship.
                    Education gives you knowledge related  to different  things that  you come across in your  daily life. Quality
                   education will provide a strong foundation for financial security. This will improve their standard of living and
                   will give them a way to move out of poverty. It will enlighten the youth to contribute in all possible ways to the
                   social and economic development of their community which is another important factor to fulfill many other
                   related sustainable development goals.

                    For example, Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) aims at universalising elementary education and ensuring quality
                   education for all children up to the age of 14.
                 •  Goal 5—Gender Equality: This goal ensures that people of all genders have equal rights and opportunities so
                   that they have the power to shape their own lives and contribute to the development of society.
                                                                                               Green Skills-II  121
