Introduction

The 2030 agenda comprising of 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) aims to end poverty and deprivation from the Globe, sustain the planet’s resources and preserve the climate and environment. The agenda was adopted in 2015 and now after five years, three billion people in developing countries, who are the largest producer of food for world’s consumption, suffer from mal-nutrient, climate changes, drought, floods, lack of resources such as fertilizers, seeds etc, and market shocks. The problem can be tackled by adopting Knowledge AgricultureTM for which a massive program of educating and upgrading the skills of farmers are required. Execution of technology assisted skill development projects in part of India and Ethiopia and their sustained monitoring for many years by us showed inspiring changes in rural behaviour and willingness of farmers and related population to adopt the new technology.

WDF University for SDG2030 has been established with a mission to educate & train farming and other populace to increase their income by use of modern methods using broadcasting & Communication technologies and also make an effort to introduce high level technologies such as IOT, Robotics, UAV to automate and spread knowledge in the fields of education, agriculture, healthcare, livelihood generation and removal of ignorance.

I have been teaching by lecturing, producing courses for livelihood generation to people around world as my contribution towards achieving SDG2030. A few video courses are mentioned below. More videos can be watched at Videos or full courses at WDF University for SDG2030
