Gender equality: let me start with a story. I remember walking into an institute and a board with images of members and out of the 60-70 people I saw there was two women on there and my immediate thought was Wow, this is a man's world which is why I had decided that I want more female representation

Now-a-days, businesses are growing and the people's living standards are improving. However, to achieve the business goals, sometimes, the business do not consider sustainability of the earth as such the goals are achieved at the cost of ruining the earth and its climate.

By the way all the United Nations SDGs are important but as I had to select only three that is why i pointed three major goals. I think poverty, peace and justice and climate action are issues of great importance and should never be compromised because they are vital for prosperity and growth.

By providing quality education, we are slowly solving the rest of the SDG’s goals. Children will have the ability to work to get out of poverty, common sense and critical thinking to treat women equality, and to recycle and help make earth a better place.

🌏 Eradicating poverty is not a task of charity, it's an act of justice and the key to unlocking an enormous human potential.Still nearly half of the world's population live in poverty and the lack of clean water is killing thousands every single day of the year.

Focusing on improved work and economic growth can address many concerns for a large number of people, as well as several SDGs like 'No Poverty' and others. We should concentrate our efforts on areas with the highest return on investment (ROI), i.e. those with the greatest societal benefits.

Although all UN's SDG's are vital I put the greatest stock in no poverty, no hunger and physical and mental well being. If these 3 are accomplished many of the worlds problems will be alleviated if not eradicated. The accomplishment of these 3 goals allow an individual to sustain quality life.

The design of sustainable buildings plays a huge role in determining the fate of the present and future generations. I strongly believe that my role as an architect serves as the 'middleman' between sustainable cities and communities; and the advancement in industry, innovation and infrastructure.

Everyone are guided by their mindful thoughts, which works well if a person is not hungry. It's a greatest emotional damage one could have. Then on a clarity mind a quality education could be more like a fertilizer, only by which a peaceful, strong a just institutions could be build upon.

Present era has fully become dependent on economy and industries. Everything works on demand, supply and maximization of profit. Businesses are on full throttle for production and the pervasive use of media has made consumerism boundless. In this quest we have forgotten the life on land and water.
