The Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs), also known as the Global Goals, were adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015 as a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure a more secure world by 2030. This has been perceived as a global transformation, benefitting the lives of millions across the world. The International community has adopted 17 sustainable development goals that aim to build a more prosperous and equitable world by 2030 The 17 SDGs and 169 targets are part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Adopted by 193 member countries at the UN General Assembly Summit in September 2015, and which came into effect on January 2016. These goals are the result of the relentless consultative process, which penetrated the thoughts of millions of global citizens and compelled the national governments to negotiate and adopt the global path to sustainable development for the next coming years. The action plan is designed to stimulate the areas of grave social concerns such as poverty, hunger, education, health and well-being, gender equality, etc. The underlying idea of the entire initiative is about the epiphany that the global leaders had when they realized that economic development could not be a true measure of happiness and prosperity. It recognizes that the tasks of peace, justice, environmental protection, and industrial development are not disconnected from each other and part of the same change. It anchors, above all, that global and interconnected challenges can only be fought with global and interconnected solutions. Hence, a unified global endeavour is the need of the hour.
