In September 2015, 193 countries including India committed to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as detailed in the United Nations resolution, ‘Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development’. There are 17 SDGs, which have 169 targets to be achieved by 2030. The SDG 1 is to “End poverty in all its forms everywhere”; SDG 2 is to “End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture”; and SDG 5 is to “Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls.” The SDGs facilitate the development action for greater human wellbeing.
