Every nation seeks to grow and develop holistically that aims at enhancing the life standards of their citizens. The government of the particular nation strives to make the cordial relationship with the neighboring countries so that they commonly share the natural and other resources to upgrade the life of the people.
India is fortunate to host the G-20 meet in 2023. Together with the European Union, the G-20 includes the finance ministers and central bank governors of 19 of the world's largest economies. The G20 aims to develop a new global financial architecture, advance financial rules that reduce risks and forestall future financial crises, and coordinate policies among its members in order to achieve sustainable growth and global economic stability.
The summit was started in 1999 to talk about international economic development and cooperative policy issues. Two-thirds of the world's population and around 85% of its Wealth are represented by the G20's 20 member nations. Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, the European Union, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and the United States are among these nations. The G20 is significant for India because it gives the nation a forum to interact with the major economies in the world, advance its economic goals, and tackle pressing global concerns.
Looking at G-20 event it draws the attention towards Sustainable Development. United Nations have given 17 Sustainable Development Goals to carry forward Millennium Development Goals. The Global Goals have taken into consideration no poverty, zero hunger, good health and wellbeing, quality education, gender equality, clean water and sanitation, affordable and clean energy, decent work and economic growth, industry innovation and infrastructure, reduce inequalities, sustainable cities and communities, responsible consumption and production, climate action, life below water, life on land, peace justice and strong institutions and partnership for the goals. These 17 goals are the respect to the nature and human existence. These goals are the comprehension of peaceful human existence on the planet. These goals are the reflection of Bharatiya Panchkoshatmak Vikas. Indian knowledge system has reflected these thoughts in the Vedas and Upanishads centuries ago. The theme of the G-20 is ‘वसुधैव कुटुम्बकम’. The theme reflects universal brotherhood and fraternity. Through G-20 along with other developmental goal Bharat is striving its best to give away the message of peace and serenity.
It is driving lines that human existence and the planet go hand in glows. Both depend on each other systematically and collaborative. True education imparts to reflect and manifests the divine perfection that exists in the men and the nature. If men save nature, nature will save the human existence. True and holistic education reflects the same message for the human race.
