                OUR ROLE IN SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

        A  nation is  made by its people  living  there  which  means we  all  have
        to contribute our bit to protect our air, water and land from pollution
        through our joint efforts.

        will  provide a strong foundation  with financial  security. This  will  improve  their standard of living  and will  give
        them a way to move out of poverty. It will enlighten the youth to contribute in all possible ways for the social and
        economic development of their community which is another important factor to fulfill many other related sustainable
        development goals.

        access to water, sanitation and hygiene services is the basic requirement to fight against the COVID virus which is an
        urgent need of the time for preserving the health and well-being of millions.

        in the people living in that area.

        This focuses on investing in clean energy sources such as solar, wind and thermal at affordable prices. This is an initiative
        of preserving renewable energy sources, reducing greenhouse effect, reducing harmful smog, toxic buildups in our air
        and water. All these will help in reducing our impact on climate change and creating a sustainable energy future.

        country. Unemployment can lead to unrest and anti-social activities will increase in the society.

        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.
