• Goal 9—Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure: This goal ensures equal and universal access to information
and financial markets by providing inclusive and sustainable industrialization 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.
Inequalities based on income, sex, age, disability, race, religion, and opportunity will slow down the process of social
and economic development of the society. Greater efforts at all levels are needed to educate people which in turn
will reduce inequalities, poverty, and hunger. To reduce inequalities, we can be helpful to one another, be friendly
with everyone, include everyone while working or playing, help others by including everyone whether they are
small or big, girl or boy, belong to any class or caste.
For example, Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act aims to prevent atrocities against
marginalized communities and promote equality by ensuring legal protection and rights for Scheduled Castes and
Scheduled Tribes in India.
• Goal 11—Sustainable Cities and Communities: This goal ensures in providing adequate, safe, sustainable and
affordable housing, and basic services and upgrading slums, and affordable transport systems with improved road
safety by building modern cities with green and clean-living conditions.
For our societies and countries to prosper at present and in future we all need to have cleaner, greener, and modern
sustainable cities. For creating sustainable cities, we need to save energy by switching off lights and fans when not
in use, use natural light as much as possible, use energy-efficient lights (LED bulbs) and appliances.
For example, Smart Cities Mission aims to develop 100 cities across India with core infrastructure, sustainable
environment, and smart solutions to improve quality of life and promote sustainable urban development.
• Goal 12—Responsible Consumption and Production: This goal ensures responsible consumption and production
by all nations for sustainable development and lifestyles in harmony with nature.
Responsible consumers are conscious of their consumption habits and contribute to a more positive impact on
society and the environment from the producers of goods and services. Producers should go for the production
of goods with negative environmental impacts such as soil, water, greenhouse gas emissions and degradation of
ecosystems.
We can become responsible for our environment by reusing paper, glass, plastic, water etc., taking cloth bags to
the market carrying fruits and vegetables, donating things we do not use such as clothes books, furniture, food,
etc., buying and eating seasonal fruits and vegetables from local growers, repairing leaking taps and pipes to avoid
washing water, sorting and treating garbage before disposing.
