Cleanest city of India


              •  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.
