Why did we choose SDG 3?


Ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being at all ages is essential to sustainable development. Currently, the world is facing a global health crisis unlike any other — COVID-19 is spreading human suffering, destabilizing the global economy and upending the lives of billions of people around the globe. By focusing on providing more efficient funding of health systems, improved sanitation and hygiene, and increased access to physicians, significant progress can be made in helping to save the lives of millions.

How does our school promote SDG 3?

What were the steps taken by our school?

Spreading awareness is the hardest and the most important part of achieving success towards ending global challenges. To spread awareness among the students of our school and to understand about SDGs and the importance of these goals, we were shown a detailed presentation on SDG. The presentation contained a lot of information on sustainability, SDGs, all 17 goals and how are we going to implement these goals to end a global issue together. Our teachers cleared all our doubts and made a plan to execute the goal of SDG 3.

Interviews of several students were also taken to know whether the students understand the importance of sustainable development.

The students of our school researched about SDG 3 and confidently answered all the questions.

The next move was to create a clean and better environment for  all. Good health and well-being can only be achieved if there is cleanliness around us. So, the teachers and the students of our school decided to collect waste plastic from the students and outside our school and recycle it. Volunteers were also made for the same. This was presented as a competition to engage more students to bring and recycle plastic waste. All the students actively participated and responded.


At last, but not least our teachers have decided  to include the following in our holiday homework as a project.
