While learning about Sri Lanka’s sustainable development, I share my insights about Agenda 2030-Developments in India and how can the youth in India and Sri Lanka contribute to shaping the future.
Before we set the context of the talk today, I would like to quote the Father of our Nation Mahatma Gandhi who once said,
“One must care about the world one will not see”. Relating it to development One must care about development for the future generation, the development which is sustainable and inclusive.
We all know that in 2015 we - India, Sri Lanka &other countries of the world came together at the UN to define a common vision of sustainable and inclusive development for humankind known as Agenda 2030..
