ACTION/2015” is a campaign across the world in the cotext of the new Sustainable Development Goals. This campaign is a result of a meeting of world leaders from 189 nations, including India, which took place 15 years ago. At the meeting, leaders of different nations agreed upon eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs); and this year, the world leaders have to come together, for assessment and evaluation of the MDGs and draft new goals for the betterment of their nations. By the campaign “ACTION/2015” we are making known the needs of the children to the Prime Minister, which would be a help to analyse the situation of the children and provide appropriate remedies. In India, this campaign was launched in January 2015, in 16 different states, to voice the rights of the children and to better their living standards.
