No ‘one size fits all’ solution for social development, India tells UN
By Arul Louis
United Nations: Nations have different types of responsibilities in reaching the common development goals in The Agenda 2030 adopted at the UN summit last month and there is no “one size fits all” solution, India’s Deputy Permanent Representative Bhagwant Singh Bishnoi said here.
“There is no ‘one size fits all’ solution for social development at the national level, Bishnoi on Tuesday told the General Assembly committee that deals with social issues. “The Agenda 2030 has also well recognised the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities in its implementation.”
Agenda 2030 is a 17-point programme of goals like ending hunger, providing clean energy and sanitation for all, promoting international equality and ensuring gender equality before a 2030 deadline.
He pointed to the lack of finance in developing countries to achieve these ambitious goals and said international funding was necessary to fill the gap. He called upon developed nations to take the lead by providing official aid.
“With political resolve and selfless interest, the global community must transform itself into a resilient and sustainable society,” he said.
Looking back at the track record of international development over the last 20 years since the first set of the ambitious development goals were set at the Copenhagen Summit in 1995, Bishnoi said the progress has been uneven.
Therefore, he declared, “we cannot afford but to make poverty eradication and social inclusion our top priorities in order to achieve sustainable development. We are, therefore, happy that poverty eradication has been placed at the heart of the Agenda 2030.”
Social integration and inclusion were essential to overcome inequalities both within and between countries, he said. For this growth and development should be stimulated through non-discriminatory employment generation policies that provide decent work for all.
“Our approach to social integration over the past 70 years is based on ensuring social development is accessible to all sections of society,” he added.
He outlined the various economic and social programmes started by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government and said: “In the last one and a half years the objective of government policies has been ‘sab ka saath sab ka vikas’ (together with all, development for all).”
Lucknow: Vishal Singh, a renowned social worker from Lucknow, also known as Foodman, has once again made India proud. He was honored by the Happy Hands Gloves Cooperative Limited Company in Korathai, Thailand, for his work with the Hunger Free World Mission.

Representatives from several countries, including Mr. Raja Dwivedi (Managing Director of Happy Hands Gloves Limited), Thailand Coordinator Mr. Raja Mishra, and member Mr. Varun Singh, attended the event.
Under Vishal Singh’s leadership, the attendees took a pledge to work together toward creating a hunger-free world.
Speaking on the occasion, Vishal Singh explained that the main goal of the Hunger Free World Mission is social participation. He said the mission is not just about feeding people but also about meeting other basic needs of those who are struggling. The mission focuses on helping families of terminally ill patients in hospitals by providing food and shelter. It also works to fulfill essential needs like education, jobs, and care for the elderly.
For the last 16 years, the Vijay Sri Foundation has been providing free services, benefiting thousands of people. Vishal Singh highlighted that the mission aims to gain global recognition like other organizations such as WHO, WWF, and Red Cross, which work for social causes.
During this meeting, Vishal Singh was appointed as the Chairman of the Hunger Free World Mission by representatives from various countries. They also discussed holding regular meetings in different countries to push the mission forward.
Business tycoon Dr. Abhishek Verma has also supported this humanitarian mission, vowing to promote the idea of “Seva Parmo Dharma” (Service is the highest duty) worldwide. Vishal Singh praised him, stating that people like Dr .Abhishek Verma inspire others to work for the betterment of society.
Recently, Romania’s Ambassador, Mr . Daniela Sezonov Ţane, invited Vishal Singh to the Romanian Embassy in Delhi, where they discussed the mission in detail. Impressed by his humanitarian work, she honored Vishal Singh and invited him to Romania to take the mission forward .

Despite contracting the virus himself, he continued to assist others after his recovery. He even created a life-saving oxygen regulator using household items, which was praised by doctors both in India and abroad.
In his address at the meeting, Vishal Singh spoke about his mission to create a hunger-free world. He pointed out that India’s large population, along with issues like unemployment and poverty, has caused the country to fall on the Hunger Index. He urged people to contribute just one handful of grains daily to help create a hunger-free world.
He concluded by saying that through social participation, we can empower the people around us, meet their basic needs, and work together to build a stronger, more prosperous, and developed society.
