For example, Beti Bachao Beti Padhao (BBBP) Campaign aims to address gender imbalance and promote the
                   education of girls, focusing on changing societal attitudes and improving the status of girls in India.
                 •  Goal 6—Clean Water and Sanitation: This goal ensures the availability of clean and safe water for drinking
                   with proper water resources management at all levels, protecting and restoring water-related ecosystems, and
                   providing adequate and equal sanitation and hygiene for all.
                    Clean water for drinking and adequate sanitation is the basic human right. We have seen this during the time
                   of COVID-19 that access to water, sanitation, and hygiene services is the basic requirement to fight against
                   the COVID-19 virus which is an urgent need of the time for preserving the health and well-being of millions.
                   Pollution from industries and open defecation practices are polluting water resources, thereby causing numerous
                   diseases among the people living in those areas.
                    For example, Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM) promotes cleanliness and eliminate open defecation by ensuring
                   access to safe sanitation facilities and promoting hygiene practices across India.
                 •  Goal 7—Affordable and Clean Energy: This goal focuses on improved infrastructure with upgraded technology
                   to provide universal access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern renewable energy for all.
                    This focuses on investing in clean energy sources such as solar, wind, and thermal at affordable prices. This is
                   an initiative for preserving renewable energy sources, reducing the greenhouse effect, reducing harmful smog,
                   and preventing toxic build-ups in our air and water. All these will help in reducing our impact on climate change
                   and creating a sustainable energy future. Using solar power, which is generated from the sun, does not cause
                   pollution because it does not require the burning of non-renewable fuels like coal. Similarly, biogas is an eco-
                   friendly alternative to natural gas. We should encourage solar power generation because it fulfils our electricity
                   needs, do not pollute the environment, use natural resources.

                    For example, Ujwal DISCOM Assurance Yojana (UDAY) aims to improve the financial and operational efficiency
                   of power distribution companies, promoting sustainable and affordable energy access.
                 •  Goal 8—Decent  Work and Economic  Growth: This goal  aims to  protect  labour  rights,  end  slavery  and
                   child labour, provide decent work, and fulfil jobs including entrepreneurship. This goal is crucial for achieving
                   sustainable economic development and  ensuring that economic growth  benefits all individuals, promoting
                   social inclusion and reducing inequalities.

                    People with decent jobs will benefit society by being productive and will contribute to the economic growth of
                   the country. Unemployment can lead to unrest and anti-social activities will increase in the society. We can study
                   and find good jobs to take care of ourselves and our families, work hard and contribute to society, learn and
                   develop skills so that we add value to our community.
                    For example, Skill  India Mission  aims  to train over 400 million  people in various skills  by 2022, promoting
                   employment generation and entrepreneurship for sustainable economic growth.
                 •  Goal 9—Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure: This goal ensures equal and universal access to information
                   and financial markets by providing inclusive and sustainable industrialisation with developed and sustainable
                   infrastructure to all nations across the globe.
                    By investing in modern infrastructure and fostering innovation, this goal supports job creation and enhances
                   productivity. Improved infrastructure, such as roads and electricity, enables easier access to markets and essential
                   services, benefiting communities and businesses alike. Innovation promotes new technologies and solutions for
                   sustainable development, addressing challenges like climate change and resource scarcity.

                    For example, Make in India Initiative promotes manufacturing  and innovation in India by encouraging
                   multinational and domestic companies to manufacture their products in the country, fostering industrial growth
                   and infrastructure development.
                 •  Goal 10—Reduced Inequalities: This goal ensures equality and prosperity to all irrespective of gender, race,
                   religion, or economic status by improving and monitoring global financial markets for the financial and social
                   progress of all people in all nations.

                                                                                               Green Skills-II  85
