This year, Suman Bery, Vice Chairperson of NITI Ayog delivered the oration on the topic “Sustainable Development Goals 2030: Indian model of localization”.
Delivering the oration on the topic, Shri Suman Bery said, “Sustainable development goals were adopted by the UN soon after Modi PM took over and he showed exceptional leadership on behalf of India.
If India matters to Sustainable Development Goals then Sustainable Development Goals also matters to India. Agenda 2030 is captured by 17 SDG goals and each has their own targets. By December, India will take over the presidencies of a group of countries and will also tell some harsh truth to the world about SDGs.
