SDGs like no poverty, zero hunger priority for govt: Jitendra Singh
Union Minister Jitendra Singh on Friday said most of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) like no poverty, zero hunger and gender equality are the main priority areas of the Modi model of governance.

"As a part of the global world, we are faced with global challenges and the solutions also have to be global," Singh, the Minister of State for Personnel, said.
He said since May 2014, under Prime Minister Modi, there was a major paradigm shift in all areas of governance and revolutionary and far-reaching changes ushered in economic policies, defence and strategic matters, infrastructure, rural regeneration and social upliftment of vulnerable sections have laid out a clear roadmap for India to emerge as a frontline nation in the comity of nations by 2047.
