Active Citizenship

Sustainable development is a social process that integrates social, economic, and environmental objectives to meet the present needs of human beings without compromising the needs of future generations. Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are the blueprint designed to tackle global challenges and achieve a better future. We as ordinary citizens are responsible for creating awareness and taking action to realize the Sustainable Development Goals. We have to play our part in inculcating behavior and practices that do not compromise the well-being of our future generations.
