Assam Governor Urges Departments to Embrace Sustainability Goals

Assam's Governor recently delivered a powerful message, urging all government departments to align their work with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These 17 interconnected goals, ranging from poverty eradication to climate action, provide a roadmap for a more just and sustainable future.

The Governor emphasized the need for departments to move beyond narrow mandates and consider the broader social, economic, and environmental impact of their actions. This means integrating the SDGs into every aspect of planning and implementation, ensuring initiatives contribute to a larger vision of progress.


It is an effort by the government to achieve sustainable agricultural practices to boost food security, improve healthcare access to empower communities or invest in renewable energy to combat climate change. Aligning with the SDGs wouldn't just benefit Assam internally; it would position the state as a responsible participant in a global movement toward a better tomorrow.
