    Please read the following passage and answer the Questions (Q no 23-26) based on the passage. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are crucial for India's development, addressing poverty, hunger, health, education, and climate challenges. With over 1.4 billion people, India faces significant issues like food insecurity, poor healthcare, and unequal education, particularly in rural areas. SDGs 1, 2, 3, and 4 target these areas, aiming for poverty eradication, universal healthcare, and quality education. Gender equality (SDG 5) and clean water access (SDG 6) are also vital for ensuring equitable growth.

Achieving the SDGs will uplift millions and strengthen India's role in global sustainable development.
