Sustainable Development Goals, Health and Education: Practices and Challenges

Sustainable growth is the need of the hour. The United Nation has rightly felt this and introduced 17 different goals to achieve the “Sustainable Growth”. However. It has also set the timeline to realise these goals by different member countries and in that process every member country should evolve by 2030. India being one of the members of UN, must try to aware its citizens about realization of these goals and more particularly in the field of Health and Education. Therefore, this book is an attempt to address the issue of “Sustainable Development Goals” in a broader context and more particularly in the area of health and Education. It is an attempt to diagnose the challenges faced by different stakeholders of the society to achieve this dream of sustainable future. We have tried to justify the theme of the book by including the chapters on different socio-economic issues related to the implication of sustainable development goals and more particularly to SDG3 and SDG 4.
