📚 Progress in Global Education: A Call for Acceleration Towards SDG 4 🌍 Despite efforts, global education progress remains slow. In 2019, only 58% of students worldwide met minimum reading proficiency by the end of primary school. Declines in lower secondary learning outcomes, a slowed upper secondary completion rate, and challenges like teacher shortages in sub-Saharan Africa emphasize the urgency of SDG 4. Prioritizing quality education will catalyze progress across all of Agenda 2030. India’s Achievements in Quality Education 🇮🇳: 📖 Elementary Enrolment: ANER reached 96.5% in 2021-22, up from 87.26% in 2018-19, with 14 states achieving 100%! 👩🏫 Pupil-Teacher Ratio: Now at 18, surpassing the target of 30. 💧 School Facilities: 88.65% of schools have electricity and drinking water access. 🎓 Gender Parity: 100% parity achieved in higher education for ages 18-23. Accelerating global efforts in education is essential to build a brighter, more inclusive future for all. #SDG4 #QualityEducation #EducationForAll #India Paresh Kumar Minal Srivastava Deepak Bhatt Itishree Nayak Krish Jain Sanya Lamba

🌍Breaking Barriers: The Fight for Gender Equality Continues🌍 Despite positive strides, achieving full gender equality remains a challenge worldwide. From leadership roles to legal protections, gaps persist, with key indicators calling for stronger action. Here’s where things stand: 📊 Global Overview • Legal Protections: 55% of 120 countries surveyed in 2022 lack comprehensive anti-discrimination laws for women, and nearly half still have no parliamentary quotas for women. • Child Marriage: 640 million girls and women globally were married before age 18, with India accounting for one-third. Female genital mutilation cases have also increased by 30 million since 2016, underscoring the need for intensified efforts. • Leadership Representation: As of January 2024, women held only 26.9% of parliamentary seats, despite a modest rise since 2015. Women’s presence in management also fell to 27.5% in 2022 from 28.5% in 2021. • Technology Access: Women remain 8% less likely to own a mobile phone than men, signaling the need for equitable digital access. 📈India’s Journey on the Gender Inequality Index (GII) India made a notable leap on the GII, moving up to rank 108 in 2022 from rank 122 in 2021 with a score improvement from 0.490 to 0.437. Over the last decade, India’s rank has consistently improved—from 127 in 2014 to 108 today—indicating sustained efforts to advance gender equality. While progress is evident, much remains to be done. Ending harmful practices, promoting women’s leadership, and ensuring equal technology access are vital to achieving true gender equality. With continued commitment, a more equitable future for all is within reach. #GenderEquality #SDG5 #EndDiscrimination #IndiaRising Paresh Kumar Minal Srivastava Deepak Bhatt Itishree Nayak Vishakha Tiwari Krish Jain Sanya Lamba

Too much data can overwhelm even the best of us! I’ve seen both ends of the spectrum when it comes to CSR folks reviewing Impact Assessment (IA) reports. Some say, “Don’t make it too technical!” while others complain, “Where’s the rigour?” This meme captures that struggle perfectly—getting the balance right between depth and simplicity is an art! Choosing the right IA agency is critical. It’s not just about crunching numbers but about understanding the unique needs, maintaining methodological rigour, and presenting findings in a way that’s easy to absorb. Finding the right partner for impact assessment is not just wise—it’s necessary for meaningful outcomes! Dev Insights DevInsights Deepak Bhatt Itishree Nayak

🌍 The Global Food Waste Crisis: A Call to Action 🌍 In 2022, 19% of food produced worldwide was wasted, amounting to a staggering 1.05 billion tonnes. Household food waste accounted for 60% of this total, creating an ecological and economic strain—over $1 trillion lost annually—while 783 million people go hungry globally. Yet only 9 out of 193 countries have pledged food waste reduction in their Nationally Determined Contributions, making it evident that this issue needs urgent focus if we are to meet the UN’s goal of halving food waste by 2030. Meanwhile, 13.2% of global food is lost post-harvest—in farms, transit, storage, wholesale, and processing. 📉 India’s Alarming Stats Each year, India wastes 74 million tons of food, valued at an eye-watering ₹92,000 crore. Ranked second worldwide in food wastage, 22% of India’s total food production goes to waste, comprising 8% of global food waste. This coexists with the high rate of undernourishment in India, with 14% of Indians suffering from hunger, underscoring a stark socio-economic gap. Where Does the Waste Come From? India’s food waste largely originates in households—61% of wasted food here—equivalent to 55 kilograms per person per year. This includes food discarded due to common misconceptions about refrigerated food. Despite 60% of Indian households owning a refrigerator, many avoid refrigerated food, perceiving it as ‘stale’—a belief that’s costly in food, time, and labor. 💡 Time to Take Action 1️⃣ Be mindful of portion sizes and buy only what you need. 2️⃣ Embrace refrigeration to store food safely for longer and reduce daily cooking demands. 3️⃣ Spread awareness in your community to reduce household food waste and create a ripple effect. Reducing food waste is essential not just for addressing hunger but also for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Let’s make conscious choices to help close this gap between food surplus and scarcity, ensuring a more sustainable and equitable future for all! #StopFoodWaste #ZeroHunger #SustainableLiving Paresh Kumar Minal Srivastava Deepak Bhatt Itishree Nayak Krish Jain Vishakha Tiwari Sanya Lamba
