What are SDG Goals?

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as the Global Goals, were adopted by the United Nations in 2015 as a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that by 2030 all people enjoy peace and prosperity.

The 17 SDGs are integrated—they recognize that action in one area will affect outcomes in others, and that development must balance social, economic and environmental sustainability.

Countries have committed to prioritize progress for those who're furthest behind. The SDGs are designed to end poverty, hunger, AIDS, and discrimination against women and girls.

Our Contribution

Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4) underscores the transformative power of education in the context of sustainable development. It acknowledges that education is not just a basic human right but a potent tool for addressing numerous societal issues and fostering positive change. By promoting inclusive and equitable quality education, SDG 4 aims to uplift individuals and communities, break the cycle of poverty, stimulate economic growth, promote gender equality, and tackle various global challenges. The goal is to create a world where everyone, irrespective of their background or circumstances, has access to high-quality education and lifelong learning opportunities, empowering them to lead better lives and contribute to a sustainable future.

From last 15 years Sanskriti is contributing by opening free libraries across India to provide education to the underprivileged. We have opened 100+ libraries and now we are focusing on our Mission 1000 free libraries across the Nation.

We have opened 32 libraries, particularly in hilly regions in Uttarakhand itself. These libraries serve as valuable resources for children in remote and less accessible areas, where educational opportunities may be limited. By providing access to books and learning materials, we are not only promoting literacy but also empowering these children with the tools they need for a brighter future. These libraries can play a pivotal role in bridging the educational gap and creating opportunities for children to explore, learn, and grow.

In addition to our libraries, we have established a learning center for children in Lower Kandoli, Dehradun, Uttarakhand, with a focus on holistic growth. Learning centers that promote holistic development are incredibly valuable for children's overall well-being and education. Such centers typically offer a well-rounded approach to learning that goes beyond traditional academic subjects and includes personal, social, and emotional development.

The center provides opportunities for:

  • Academic Growth: Offering support in various subjects and encouraging a love for learning.
  • Physical Activities: Promoting physical fitness, sports, and health education.
  • Cultural and Creative Arts: Encouraging creativity through art, music, and cultural activities.
  • Life Skills: Teaching important life skills such as problem-solving, communication, and decision-making.
  • Moral and Ethical Education: Fostering values, ethics, and good citizenship.
  • Mental Health and Emotional Support: Providing a safe space for children to express their feelings and learn about emotional well-being.
  • Community Engagement: Involving children in community service and awareness activities.

The centers are essential for nurturing well-rounded individuals who are not only academically competent but also emotionally intelligent, socially aware, and responsible citizens.
