Dr.Pratik & Dr Uche has done the Moderation of this conference so gracefully. It was a grand Successful SDG Summit/Conference. Overall, the SDG Summit demonstrated the continuing strong commitment of the international community to the 2030 Agenda and to multilateral collaboration for achieving the SDGs by 2030 Key Messages from this International conference/SDG Summit: The commitment to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development remains steadfast at the highest level of government and among stakeholders. Yet it is clear that the world is not on track to meet the SDGs by 2030. The future is now, and the Earth's systems are changing quickly. The SDGs can still be achieved if the international community steps up the speed and ambition of its actions. Many countries have been proactively implementing the SDGs, incorporating them in policies and strategies, and outlining their long-term vision for transformation to more sustainable and just economies and societies. However, the shared view is that the global response is not yet sufficiently transformative. Most of the 21 targets designated for achievement by 2020 will likely not be met and we are not on track for achieving many other targets by 2030. Governments cannot do it alone; they are reaching out to forge new partnerships with civil society, businesses, and the scientific and technological community. National plans must reflect a singly interconnected world, and address complex flows of goods, capital, information and people. For such efforts to be effective, it is imperative that all countries pursue the SDGs as systems, fully recognizing the interconnections across sectors, countries and levels, from global to local. Positive synergies need to be harnessed and difficult trade-offs need to be addressed more quickly and effectively, Interventions can have multiple impacts across the SDGs: human well-being and capabilities; sustainable and just economics; food systems and nutrition patterns; energy decarbonization with universal access; urban and peri-urban development; and global environmental commons. Across those areas, governance, economy and finance, individual and collective action, and science and technology are important levers that can help countries to achieve positive synergistic impacts across the SDGs. While there is sufficient knowledge to act now, it is key to ensure that knowledge is available to those who need it. This requires strengthening the science-policy interface and creating knowledge platforms in every country. Unequal access to scientific data and knowledge systems is a major obstacle to the universal implementation of the 2030 Agenda, particularly for the Least Developed Countries and Small Island Developing States. Urgent action must be taken by development partners to overcome this deficit. Weaknesses in governance, corruption and declining civic space are major obstacles to the SDGs and promoting human rights and supporting actions to foster peace and justice are essential for progress. The world is entering a decade that will be decisive for current and future generations, and for all life on the planet. Through the SDG Summit Political Declaration, Heads of State and Government pledged to make the coming decade one of action and delivery.

6th February 2022 was a sad day for Indians, as well as the music world, as "Gaankokila" Honorable Lata Mangeshkar passed away. The sudden demise of "Nightingale of India" left an unfulfilled void in the minds of Indians. From Bollywood to politicians, everyone mourned the death of their beloved singer. Cricketers across the globe shed tears in remembrance of the soulful queen. When one will think of music, the first name coming to everyone's mind will be Lata Mangeshkar. The greatest in the music industry fundraising so shared a special connection with Indian cricket. Right since her younger days, she showed her love for the sport. One could see her smiling in the stands after Salim Durrani hit the six in the stands off Derek Underwood against England in 1973 when the spectators had demanded him to do so by saying "we want sixer". Often one could see Lata Mangeshkar in the stands cheering for India. Her love for the game was such, that when she decided to own a house in London, she did own one right in front of The Mecca of Cricket, Lord's. Her contribution to the sport is beyond just a spectator. Back then, when the BCCI was not a money-making rich board, India under Kapil Dev ended the West Indian domination to win their first World cup in 1983. Players were getting applause from all over the world, but the board had no money to felicitate the players who brought them glory. It was at this point fundraising when BCCI requested the legendary singer to help them with a fund raising event, which Lataji gladly accepted. Her magical voice helped the board earn a whopping 20 lakh rupees 4 decades earlier than today. The world cup winning players were awarded this money. The selflessness of Lata Ji was seen by everyone when she denied any fees for this noble event. In her honour, the BCCI always kept 2 seats reserved for Lata Ji for every match India played thereafter. Every player was fond of her magical voice. She had immense respect for every single player who played for India. But she shared a very special bond with the two Indian greats, Sunil Gavaskar and Sachin Tendulkar. Recalling an incident, Sunil Gavaskar had said," When I was in Lahore, I attended an event of Pakistan film industry and met a famous singer Noor Jahan, who denied identifying me saying she only knows Imran Khan. When asked if I knew Noorjahan, I replied, I know only the greatest Lata Mangeshkar Ji ". This showed the immense respect Gavaskar had for the legend of music. One could also see Lata Ji shedding tears as Gavaskar recalled this incident on stage. Along with Little Master, the God of cricket also shared a very special connection with Lata Ji. Sachin would always call her "my mother", and Lata Ji proudly said, " Sachin is like my son, a son who made his entire country proud". Sachin fondly said that the medium of music changed over the years, from pull tapes to tape recorders, to two-in-one to i-pods. But amidst all this, only one thing which remained constant was the melodies voice of Lata Ji which he listened to. Coincidentally, when Sachin reached his 35th century, breaking the record of Gavaskar who had 34 centuries, he was felicitated by the person he admired the most. On the occasion, Lata Ji said " Since he is like my son, I'm here to bless him, and I request everyone to support him, and not criticize him for petty reasons". For a world-class player who was dealing with a slump of form, these words mattered a lot. Lata Ji was one of the very few people who stood with Sachin through his thick and thin. The bond between the two Bharat Ratna award recipientsJi was so pure, that Sachin was the first person to reach Lata Ji's house after knowing about her demise. Lata Ji might not be present physically in this world, but through her melodies and masterpieces, she will live forever in the hearts of people. The legacy she left behind is huge. She is a legend of music, yet her fondness and love for gentlemen's games are unmatchable. Her selfless act for Indian cricket in 1983 is something that India will never forget. If one has to speak about very few people to have played a part in Indian cricket, despite being not related to it, Lata Ji's name would be on the top of that list. Her demise has left a void in our hearts, but legends like these never die, they live forever till there is the sun.

The most successful U-19 team defeated the second most successful U-19 team to enter the finals of the world cup. Continuing the winning streak against the Aussies in U-19 world cups since 1998, the Indians dominated the semi-final clash after the first hour of Aussie domination. With this victory, India reached the finals for the 4 consecutive world cups and have done it for the 8th time in the history of the U-19 World Cup. They did it by winning the semi-final comfortably by 96 runs, which everyone thought would be a thrilling encounter. Winning the toss, Yash Dhull chose to bat, a decision which was a little surprising looking at the pitch and the previous clash. And Aussie bowlers bowled with great discipline bowling tight lines to ensure the scorecard is not moving much. Both the openers, Raghuwanshi and Harnoor Singh played the new ball cautiously. Their scorecard may say something else, but their patience was the key to facing the great swing from Aussie bowlers successfully. After playing for some time, Salzmann delivered an unplayable delivery dismissing the inform Raghuwanshi. Rasheed along with Harnoor continued to bat well when the latter fell to a short ball and was caught behind. With 36/2 in around 12+ overs, it looked difficult for India. Looking at what happened in the last match, it seemed like India might just cross over 200+, which might as well be a good score. But captain Yash Dhull and vice-captain Shaik Rasheed had different plans. They hung in there for some time, took their time to settle, and then took quick singles to rotate the strike and keep the scoreboard moving. Any loose ball coming their way was punished by both of them. After a few overs, they started playing their natural game. The amazing late-cuts by Yash Dhull ensured the Aussie spinners never got in their groove. With only 93/2 in the first 27 overs, both set batters took on the Aussie bowlers. Both of them notched to their fifties in style and then continued the onslaught on Kangaroos. Yash Dhull received thunderous applause after reaching his well deserved hundred, which he missed in the first match. From 93 in 27 overs, they took the team to 241/2 in 44 overs, after which Dhull was dismissed in an unlucky way by the ball hitting nonstrikers stumps touching the bowler's hands. Rasheed too was dismissed on 94, but both had done their job. Some late fireworks by Nishant Sandhu and wicketkeeper Dinesh Bana took India to a mammoth 290. The latter scored 20 off 4 balls. Australian bowling looked fabulous in the first 15 overs. Also, their fielders did a great job. all the throws by their fielders did hit the stumps. But amidst all the pressure, eventually, it was the Indian duo of Rasheed and Dhull who stitched a mammoth 205 run partnership breaking the Aussie morale. Conwally did use the bowlers well, but the most surprising thing was Nivethan Radhakrishnan was given only 2 overs. If he has been given a chance to bowl more, his ambidextrous bowling might have helped the Aussies. Aussie batting didn't start well either. In form, Wylie was dismissed by an inswinger bowled by Ravi Kumar. Post that however the duo of Kellaway and Miller did their best to hold on to the crease before both of them were dismissed in consecutive overs. Post that, barring Shaw who scored a half-century, none of the Aussie batters resisted the Indian bowlers. Eventually, Aussie resistance ended at 194. Ostwal scalped 3, Sandhu and Ravi Kumar scalped 2 each, and Raghuwanshi and Tambe took 1 wicket each. All the other bowlers did well to restrict the run rate. Eventually, the combined efforts of team India led them to a huge victory by 96 runs. Australia did well to reach the semis, but couldn't capitalise yesterday. They are a really good side but have never managed to win a match against India from 1998 in U-19s. Meanwhile, India, continuing their winning streak in the world cup, have notched their 4th consecutive entry into the world cup final. They will be clashing against the English team for the title, who are eager to win their first title after their 1998 world cup victory. With their previous matches at the same venue as the final, English team would have an acclimatisation advantage, but the spirits of Indian boys are higher too. It would be interesting to see the final on 5th February. Let's see if the gets its 5th title, or England gets their 2nd.

This year didn't start well for the Indian cricket team. The firm favourites in the series against South Africa, India didn't live up to the expectations of the same one bit. Before this series, the same happened in the 2021 T20 world cup, when they were knocked out in the Super 12. When on one hand the senior team is not living up to the expectations, the juniors are creating new records. The U-19 team of India is on a roll since the Asia Cup victory and has won all the matches in the world cup till now qualifying themselves to the semi-finals. The major difference in the performance of the senior and the junior team is the intent with which they are playing. The U-19 team are playing to win matches. Their body language, their efforts in the field suggest the same. This is why, despite 6 members of the junior team including the skipper Yash Dhull being tested positive, the team's performance hasn't gone down. The victory over Ireland and Uganda may not be so important for everyone, considering the other teams have less experienced, but the margin of victory of 174 and 326 runs show the sheer domination despite juniors. On the other hand, the senior team looks like a bunch of guys who are bored by the regular office work they have to do. Barring the likes of Kohli, Thakur, Chahar, Dhawan, no one seems to play for victory. The extremely casual approach of the senior team has done them enough harm. The lethargic approach can be seen when one drops sitters often. With the way they performed, they never deserved to win. Another major difference between the two teams in the squad balance. The U-19 team have a lot of players who are excellent all-rounders. They contribute to the team in every possible way. The stand-in skipper Nishant Sandhu, Raj Bawa, Tambe have contributed by both, their bat as well as the ball. The star all-rounder Rajvardhan Hangargekar has excellent six-hitting ability, which is a bonus for the team, plus he breathes fire when he bowls with consistent speeds of over 145+ mph. These players look like a perfect combination of specialist bowler and specialist batter in one player. Whereas, the senior team does have at the max one contributors like any of these. And the last, but the most important difference is the contribution of the middle order. Losing 3 quick wickets didn't affect the scorecard much against the middle-orderU19 team's encounter against South Africa. The middle-order also did contribute greatly to the Asia Cup, helping the team reach a defendable total. Knowing the responsibility, they batted sensibly, something which was missing in the senior team. The juniors rotated strike when required, instead of going for a rash looking shot putting the team in trouble. The sensible approach, which is the usual difference between the senior and junior teams, was exactly the opposite when it came to the Indian team. While the juniors play with extreme maturity, the seniors lack a sensible approach. The dedication of juniors was visible in the quarter-final clash against Bangladesh, where they outplayed the Bangla team in all three departments. Aggression on the other was good by the junior team. They played their heart on the sleeve to save every single run they could, by diving to every opportunity. Today against the Kangaroos, their aggression could yield them the result they want. Undoubtedly, it is too early to compare, but the above mentioned has been the case with the teams for some time. It is unfair to compare both the teams because of the level at which they play, but whichever level it is, is the highest for the game they play. Currently, the Senior Men in Blue are not going through a good phase and would want to roar back with the coming West Indies series. While doing so they would want to learn from the approach of juniors, who are on the hunt to win the world cup title for 5th time. You don't lose anything by learning good things from your juniors. Having said that, it's also worth the mention that India senior team is still one of the finest teams in the world at the moment. They just need to get in the groove to get back to their winning habit. In the days to follow, we wish to see juniors life the title, and seniors bounce back again. Let's hope it happens Authored By:- Ashwin Jangam ( Cricket Analyst, Host and Entertainer) Instagram ID: https://www.instagram.com/cricket_creativity/

Over 21 years of diversified experience makes Satish a flawless leader and a great problem solver. Budget expectations of Mr Satish Gidugu, CEO & Whole Time Director at Medi Assist Healthcare Services (India’s leading Third Party Administrator (TPA)) are summarized in these words “The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about an intense focus on the subject of preventive healthcare and implored citizens to secure themselves by purchasing adequate health insurance cover. However, in the backdrop of falling incomes because of medical exigencies or job losses, many Indians are scaling down the coverage of their health insurance policies in a bid to save on the premium amount expended. Adding to this alarming trend is the fact that nearly 30% of the Indian population remain uninsured and you have a dangerous situation that is detrimental to our country's goal of achieving Universal Health Coverage (UHC) by 2030. To reverse this course, it is imperative that tax-paying citizens are incentivised to opt for a higher health insurance cover while the Government focuses on its slew of initiatives aimed at the bottom 50% of India's population. There is an opportunity to reduce the GST rates on health insurance premiums, allow input credit on GST paid towards employee health insurance and eliminate perquisite tax completely on employee medical reimbursements. This will create a significant impact on the overall adoption of health insurance. Doubling the existing tax deduction limits under section 80D of the Income Tax Act for medical insurance premiums paid will result in savings for the taxpayer, which in turn can be utilised to enhance the health coverage and include all dependents in the family. If announced in the forthcoming Union Budget, this measure would help the ordinary Indian citizen immensely and will help them to be better prepared for any future pandemic”.

If you think, cricket these days is all about high scoring matches, then you should probably watch the U-19 world cup. In the days of T20 and the game favouring batters, low scoring thrillers are a rare phenomenon. But the future stars of cricket are making it happen in the world cup. Earlier it was the amazing quarter-final between Afghanistan and Sri Lanka, and yesterday it was the quarter-final between India and Bangladesh. And even though India won victorious yesterday, the truly amazing display of fighting spirit from Bangla players was worth watching. The two finalists of the former world cup were raring to go. Looking at the pitch it was sure that the bowlers can make the most out of it if they bow tight line and length. Therefore it was obvious that the team which wins the toss will bowl first. Accordingly the runners-up of last world cup, India won the toss and chose to bowl. The Indian bowlers ensured they harnessed the conditions to their benefit. With accuracy, they rattled the Bangla batting line-up. Ravi Kumar destroyed the top order with his amazing bowling. While on one hand, he was breathing fire, other bowlers were complimenting him very well too by bowling tight lines and not allowing the flow of runs. Plus, the Indians were exceptional in the field. When Aich Mollah was playing well, his run out by Yash Dhull sent him back to the pavilion, and his team on backfoot. On the backfoot, at 56/7, SM Meherob and Ashiqur Zaman steadied the Bangla ship. Playing extremely cautiously, the duo stitched up to a much-needed half-century partnership. The duo batted sensibly and played the middle overs. But a missed shot by Meherob ensured the end of the partnership. Sooner, an error in judgement by Zaman to steal a second run and a 60-metre direct hit from Siddharth Yadav ensured the end of Zaman. Eventually, with the last catch, Bangladesh was bundled for 111. The Indian bowlers had done their job, it was now the turn of batters to play their role. The target may have looked an easy one, but Bangla tigers were determined to win this encounter. They dismissed the inform Harnoor Singh for a duck. Their discipline in bowling made life difficult for the best Indian batters Raghuwanshi and Rasheed. If at all they tried to time the ball, the Bangla fielders put their sleeves on the heart to stop the ball, increasing the pressure on Men in Blue. It looked like the Indians may have a tough time to bat against the high spirits of the Bangla bowlers. But both the batters held their nerve and batted well after the first 10 overs. It looked like it may be easy for India to win, but Ripon Mondol did something which Ravi Bishnoi did in the last tournament final against Bangladesh. Ripon took 4 wickets in quick succession. He sent the elegant batters Raghuwanshi, Rasheed, Yadav and Bawa back to the pavilion. In addition, the Bangla fielders were denying singles to the Indians. Eventually, the calm head of the skipper Yash Dhull and Kaushal Tambe led India to a victory. With it, India, the most successful team of U-19s have stormed into the semi-final of the tournament. If one looks only at the scorecard, the person might not understand how thrilling the match happened. With both the teams playing their top-notch game, this game was one to remember. Both the teams performed exceptionally well in all three departments of the game. Discipline in bowling, caution in batting and aggression while fielding is what one saw from both teams. The best of ODI cricket is what one can say by looking at what happened. Even though the defending world champions Bangladesh might have lost the match, they should be proud of the way they played in the match. The rise of the U-19 Bangladesh team is pleasing to see. The victory of the last world cup, the fighting spirit they displayed in this world cup will inspire many Bangla kids to take up the game improve their country's cricketing image. In the years to come, this Bangladesh team will give a tough fight to all other nations. And speaking of India , it is still the best U-19 team in the world. With their main players back in the game after covid, and with winning the low scoring thriller, they would want to win the semi-final against Australia. Looking at both, The Indian and Aussie teams, it seems like the match will be a treat to the fans. Let's hope it happens.
