1. The theme of India’s G20 presidency:
The theme of India's G20 Presidency – “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam” or “One Earth – One Family – One Future” – is drawn from the ancient Sanskrit text of the Maha Upanishad. Essentially, the theme affirms the value of all life – human, animal, plant, and microorganisms – and their interconnectedness on the planet Earth and in the wider universe.
The theme also spotlights LiFE (Lifestyle for Environment), with its associated, environmentally sustainable and responsible choices, both at the level of individual lifestyles as well as national development, leading to globally transformative actions resulting in a cleaner, greener and bluer future. The theme conveys a powerful message of India's G20 Presidency, which is of striving for just and equitable growth for all in the world, as we navigate through these turbulent times, in a sustainable, holistic, responsible, and inclusive manner. It represents a uniquely Indian approach to our G20
Presidency, of living in harmony with the surrounding ecosystem.
The discussions in G20 are held through two parallel tracks i.e, Financial Track and Sherpa Track. Education is included in Goal 4 of Sustainable Developments Goals (SDGs) and is discussed through Sherpa Track.
