Q.15 What is the theme of G-20 Summit currently held in India?
1. One Earth – One Goal
2. One Earth – One Family – One Future
3. Sustainable Living – Simple Thinking
4. Poverty eradication and 100% literacy
India hosted the G20 Summit in 2023 with the theme “One Earth, One Family, One Future,” derived from “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam.” No G20 Summit is currently held in India as of February 2026; the question likely refers to that past event.
The correct answer is 2. One Earth – One Family – One Future.
Correct Answer
2. One Earth – One Family – One Future
This theme, unveiled by PM Narendra Modi in 2022, embodies “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam” from the Maha Upanishad, stressing global unity, sustainability (LiFE), and inclusive growth for all life forms on Earth. It guided the 2023 New Delhi Summit (Sept 9-10), focusing on SDGs, green development, and African Union inclusion.

| 2. One Earth – One Family – One Future | Official motto from ancient Sanskrit, lotus logo. | Correct: Promoted interconnectedness, used in declarations and events. |
| 3. Sustainable Living – Simple Thinking | Sounds environmental but unrelated. | Incorrect: No match in G20 records; confuses with LiFE sub-theme. |
| 4. Poverty eradication and 100% literacy | Development goals but not theme. | Incorrect: Aligns with SDGs agenda, not headline slogan. |
