The Green Governance Initiative (GGI) is a youth-based non-partisan policy research think-tank that works through a collaboration with elected representatives, policymakers, and administrators, to ensure the effective implementation of the “United Nations' 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development along with India 2030”.
GGI aims in facilitating the outreach of various social welfare schemes to the grassroots level through the concept of Constituency Development through UNSDGs. Shubham explains, "We should understand the importance of social media during the time of this pandemics. It is not going to be easy for going outside daily for reaching out a helping hand rather than using social media as key to be the Messiaha of someone’s life.
If one is able to give instructions, advice, precautions and remedies to people all over the world by sitting in a room then what could be better than this during such phase" Shubham has made us realise if we have will to do something, good deeds always come around us.
