With the foresight of development, humans took different measures of industrialization and technology. Running towards industrialization and development, we forgot to look at the darker side of it. Somewhere we forgot to conserve the present natural resources and, as a result, we are talking about sustainable social development, says Dr. Lopamudra Priyadarshini, who has a great mission towards sustainable development. With an increase in industrialization and an increase in the standard of living, we have already abused the environment on a large scale. Hence, today we are facing a complex crisis that includes both social and environmental degradation. There are many irreversible effects of the so-called development that are affecting us as well as our future generations. Sustainable development is all about using natural resources in such a way those future generations will be able to use them effectively.
Improving the education levels of the present can help in bringing social development. At social ripples, they come up with an idea of promoting the ways of literacy development that will help the social and economic development of the students and will in turn support sustainable social development. It will help the future generation to understand the importance of maintaining the balance between development and the environment and design a new process of sustainability.
Literacy and development
The reason behind most of the countries to remain poor is their poor literacy levels. With the present education system, it is very important to understand where is the present education system going. Is it helping the country growing or just education is delivered? There is a need for a quality and affordable education system that will help students raise their social and economic standard of living.
Globalization and sustainable social development
Raising economic development is one of the important aspects of sustainable social development. Globalization not only helps the people to improve their economic life but also it helps in decreasing the cultural barriers within different countries. The global market helps the countries to improve their productivity and develop a face for their populations' skills. It helps in improving the connectivity between the people of various countries in various ways. It will help the world to grow as a whole with integrated global activities. For this, we need to improve literacy levels and develop various skills.
Environment change, education, and development
Quality and sustainable education is a way of awaking the young generation of the connection between the development and environment. The environment is one of the global crises which need to be given attention immediately. We think that we are developing but, with growing global environment changes, can we say that? Development in technology and crisis with the environment is not development. Balancing social and economic development with the environment is sustainable social development. For that, education is a must.
Hence, with improving literacy levels and quality sustainable education, we can take initiatives towards sustainable social development. The social ripples, which is an initiative towards sustainable social development, advocates the fact that to bring sustainable development first, we need to have recognition of the problems we are facing and what we can do to improve the present situation of global crisis. Educating future generations on the right path will take them towards sustainable social development. Hence, instead of teaching students, what are the effects of industrialization on the environment? Teachers and educators need to take one step forward and educate children on how they can mend their ways to stop the environment change.
