The way India is moving forward on the path of progress today under the able leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi and has established itself as a strong economy, knowledge-based economy, prosperous democracy, a peacemaker on the global stage and a forerunner in the efforts of humanity. So also the G-20 group under his chairmanshipWill be successful in achieving his noble objectives and goals.It is a historic occasion, as the world’s leading and emerging scientific power, which holds about 85 percent of the world’s scientific knowledge, is present in one place. There are many such international issues of science and technology, on which there should be talks between governments at the global level. In this, topics ranging from global science and technology policy and governance to scientific knowledge creation and its use can be taken.
We really need to ensure an inclusive global science advice with a long-term vision, which is also the agenda of this G-20 CSAR meeting.

Certainly, after the Corona period, it has been proved that the concept of One Health is the biggest need of the present time for better control of global infection and to successfully face the coming epidemics. This spirit of One Health will act as a shield for us to deal with any problems that may arise in the future.
