00:00Greetings everyone. On behalf of the entire team at BFE New Delhi, we are deeply honoured and humbled to receive the Icons of Change Award at this year's UN Action SDG Summit, held in the observance of the International Year of Peace and Trust.
00:15This award is not just a recognition of our work. It is the celebration of the power of youth, the purpose-driven innovation and collaboration. As a student-led pro-borrow consulting society, we have had the opportunity to work with visionaries from all across the world. It is these visionaries who are consistently advancing the UN's SDG goals in fields of education, clean energy, financial inclusion, etc.
00:42At BFE, we believe that sustainability development goals are not just global goals, but also shared responsibilities.
00:51We are proud to be a part of the global growing movement that places empathy and equity at the core of an enterprise. Our students, consultants and partner organizations have shown that when bright minds unite with a collective effort and with the right intent, meaningful impact seems possible.
01:05It reaffirms our belief that meaningful impact does not require massive capital or decades of experience. It just requires a commitment to listen, to learn and to lead with integrity.
01:16It reminds us that sustainability and peacemaking can start with small incremental actions, student-led initiatives that when empowered can be transformed into a force that could create massive impact.
01:26To the organizers of this event, thank you for giving us a platform that amplifies voices that are growing and learning to make this world a more just and inclusive place.
01:36To our social entrepreneurs, thank you for having trust in us and giving us the motivation to keep going.
01:43This story does not end here. The world issues are urgent and the path ahead is extremely complex.
01:48However, together we can bridge the gap between ideas and action, possibility and innovation and local innovation and global goals.
