“…Is it relevant to talk about caste in modern times? [5]. No one should demean others, because if there is something that demeans others, then they are actually demeaning to God who is the creator.…”

“…Indeed, it would be necessary to involve public and private educational institutions in the development of innovative curricula, in order to make companies and entrepreneurs catalysts of not only profitable approaches, but also innovatively responsible for poverty reduction. An innovation from a political point of view appears as one of the solutions to problems that have their roots in religious and traditional questions, as in the case of India [68], where the persistence of the ideology underlying the concept of "caste" has led to the absence of norms oriented to social equality. Other authors focus on the consideration according to which an innovative vision of the future foresees not only an absolute decrease of poverty in the world, but also a relative reduction, in terms of greater redistribution of wealth [69].…”

On 25 October 2015 the United Nations approved The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs). It is an important event from different points of view: clear judgment was expressed on the unsustainability of current development models, not only on the environmental level, but also on the economic and social ones. The implementation of the agenda requires a strong involvement of all members of society, especially business. The article aims to provide a literature overview on the relationships between innovation and sustainable development objectives in the industrial context. SDGs are also analyzed in terms of stakeholders involved, reactions of companies and citizens and metrics recently proposed by researchers of PricewaterhouseCoopers (PWC). These preliminary results show that different stakeholders approach the SDGs differently, but also that the interest of companies toward SDGs is growing, confirming the considerations that emerged in literature. Furthermore, some SDGs appear to be more a prerequisite for achieving targets, than actual goals, while innovation has proven to be a driver for most SDGs.

“…For instance, the lower castes and Dalits (formerly known as untouchables) are considered a threat to the ritual purity of the upper caste, especially in small-scale settings, such as in village environments. In some instances, physical contact with Dalits is restricted (if not prohibited), and they are barred from sharing water with other villagers or denied access to land, public utilities and services (Shah et al 2006: 21, 57;Mosse 2018). The indignities and discrimination suffered by Dalits are also inscribed upon untouchable bodies.…”

At first glance there may seem to be no clear connections between two of humanity’s most pressing problems: environmental waste and antimicrobial resistance (AMR). In fact, as we posit in this paper, there is an inevitable convergence across these medical and environmental domains that hinge on social and economic inequalities. Such intersections have not been given nearly enough emphasis. Here we offer a series of considerations regarding the potential nexus of environmental pollution, waste-work, poverty and the decreasing viability of antimicrobials. We suggest that AMR and environmental pollution will fundamentally shape one another over the course of the coming decades, with differential impacts across socio-economic divides. More perniciously, the coalescing of waste, environmental pollution and reduced potency of pharmaceutical infection management will in turn likely escalate cultural prejudices around hygiene, ‘untouchability’, exclusion and privilege. That is, this nexus of waste and bacterial risk will polarise and divide communities, disproportionately affecting poorer communities. This paper is intended to chart an agenda for the study of this increasingly critical site of bacterial-human-environmental relations. It does so by examining the cycle of infection, risk and vulnerability amongst the most disadvantaged sections of the population in India.
