Abstract

The 17 Sustainable Development Goals officially come into force upon the signing of 193 countries arranged by the United Nations, and the time duration for achieving the goals is 2030. In view of the goals, this study redefines the process of 6 SDGs: (1) no poverty; (2) zero hunger; (3) quality education; (4) gender equality; (5) peace, justice, and strong institutions; and (6) partnership for the goals. The signing countries are not legally bound to achieve the goals. It comes into force as gentlemen commitment. For the purpose of study, secondary data, bulletin, papers, articles, holy books, and in-depth interviews with some experts based on open-ended questionnaires have been taken. Upon analyzing the study, the authors found that to achieve the SDG competition for good works understanding that work is worship, sharing prosperity in terms of monetary and non-monetary aspects like knowledge with poor and marginal people, truthfulness in education with opportunity for all, building mindset for treating all genders as human, transparency and justice from court as well as social leaders, trust among all stakeholders in enterprise, corporation, society, and state are essentially required. The study has also shown that happiness comes to mind when a person can pay for others. These will also be supportive for achieving all other SDGs.

Justification Of The Study

There the 193 countries signed for achieving sustainable development goal in 2015 where target to achieving the goals is 2030 but in 2021 we find that we are far away from the achievement. We find from column of the New York Times written by Maria Abi Habib on 30 April 2020 here she mentioned that poverty is increasing specially in last two years even in the USA and Europe including South Asia and Africa.

On the other hand, a UNICEF report shows that estimated 617 million kids and youths around the globe are unable to reach minimum levels in reading and mathematics, even though two thirds of them are in school.

These are the justification for redefining process of SDGs and achieving happiness.
