                       Skills. Learning green skills is one of the major ways to enhance knowledge, abilities, values and attitudes to develop
                       and support organisations that focus on improving environmental conditions.
                    3.  Explain the importance of education towards sustainable development.                      [NCERT]
                  Ans.   The government of India launched the Green Skills Development Programme (GSDP) in India in the year 2017, started
                       by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change MoEFCC in partnership with the National Skill Development
                       Agency (NSDA). It aims to develop green skilled workers having technical knowledge and commitment to sustainable
                       development. It will help in the attainment of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), Sustainable Development
                       Goals (SDGs), National Biodiversity Targets (NBTs) and Waste Management Rules 2016.
                       Education gives you knowledge related to many 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 for the social and economic development of their community
                       which is another important factor to fulfill many other related sustainable development goals.

                    1.  On the last day of your class before the start of the summer holidays, you saw some unwanted books and material lying
                      here and there. How do you wish to dispose of them following green skills?
                  Ans.  Give them to a scrap dealer for recycling paper.
                    2.  Can  you  describe  a  project  or  activity  you  participated  in  that  aimed  to  promote  sustainability  within  your  local
                      community or city? What actions did you take to contribute to creating a more sustainable environment, and what
                      impact did your efforts have on the community?
                  Ans.  Last year, I helped lead a project in my neighbourhood to reduce plastic waste by promoting reusable cloth bags
                       instead of single-use  plastic. We organised educational  workshops and distributed cloth bags, leading to local
                       businesses adopting sustainable practices. This initiative not only reduced plastic pollution but also raised awareness
                       about environmental stewardship in our community.
