                       Environment consists of the resources and conditions that nature provides to human.
                       Natural environment consists of all the living and non-living things.
                       Ecosystem is a system which consists of all plants, animals and humans who are dependent on each
                     other.
                       The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a universal call of action with the aim to end poverty,
                     protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity.
                       Resources that the nature has provided are utilised by human beings for the purpose of survival and
                     welfare.
                      With globalisation and population growth accelerating resource depletion, it's imperative to adopt
                     eco-friendly practices and technologies.
                      Some initiatives taken by the government in order to achieve SGD goals are Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan
                     Yojana (PMJDY), Mid-Day Meal Scheme, Ayushman Bharat, Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan, Beti Bachao Beti
                     Padhao, etc.
