India aims to prioritise global economic and developmental parameters, promote the agenda of equitable and inclusive development along with a shared future highlighting the principle of “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam” (One Earth, One Family, One Future).

 

During this event, Smt. Uma Mahadevan, IAS, Additional Chief Secretary- Panchayat Raj, Department of Rural Development and Panchayat Raj (RDPR), Government of Karnataka was the chief guest of the event followed by Lt. Gen.

Lauding the efforts of MAHE, she further laid emphasis on the importance of the transformational nature of education across generations, and the alignment of the expertise in academia, universities, practitioners, state, research, and private sector to achieve the SDGs.

Dr. Seshadri Chari, Member of the Planning and Monitoring Board of MAHE and Member of the Governing Council, RIS emphasised on Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s point on thinking globally and acting locally by addressing the importance of linking G20 agenda and the SDGs.

 

Prof. Dr. Srinath Reddy, Distinguished Professor and Past President of the Public Health Foundation of India,  stressed on the role of equity and inclusivity of policies in achieving SDG.
