It ensures that women and men have equal opportunities in education, work, and decision-making. This leads to
                   greater economic growth and more innovative solutions to problems. By promoting gender equality, we create a
                   more inclusive, harmonious, and prosperous world for everyone.
                    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.



                               Subject: Greenest cities on the planet


                               Copenhagen, Denmark is ranked as one of the greenest cities on the planet.




                 •  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.
