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. Climate action (SDG 13) is essential for mitigating the impacts of climate change, while SDG 11 emphasizes sustainable urbanization. Achieving the SDGs will uplift millions and strengthen India's role in global sustainable development.Solution
