KOLLAM, India, Oct. 26, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
The Govt of India has appointed Mata Amritanandamayi Devi (Amma) as the Chair
of the country's Civil 20 (C20), an official engagement group of the Group of
20 (G20). The G20 is the premier intergovernmental forum for the world's
developed and emerging economies to address financial stability on a global
basis. The C20 is its platform for civil-society organizations (CSOs) to bring
forth non-government and non-business voices to the G20 leaders.

India will assume the Presidency of the G20 for one year from December 1, 2022
to November 30, 2023. The pinnacle of events is September 9-10, 2023 when the
G20 Leaders' Summit will take place in New Delhi at the level of Heads of State
and Government. But in advance, India will host more than 200 meetings across
the country, an endeavour that involves intense work by ministerial meetings,
working groups, and engagement groups.
Upon accepting her role as Chair of India's C20 engagement group, Amma
expressed she was grateful to the Indian Government for arranging such a
high-level representation of the voices of the common people. In addition,
members include Sri M, the Satsang Foundation as Participant; Sudha Murthy,
Chair, Infosys Foundation as Participant; Rambhau Mhalgi Prabodhini as
Secretariat; and the Vivekananda Kendra, Kanyakumari as an Institutional
Partner.
In the initial C20 online meeting Amma said: "Hunger, conflict, extinction of
species, and environmental destruction are the most important issues facing the
world today. We should put in sincere effort to develop solutions. If
scientists of all fields—computer science, mathematics, physics, engineers,
etc—would all work together, then we would be able to create more innovative
methods of predicting environmental catastrophes, and thereby we would be able
to save so many lives. Often, we see a lack of multidisciplinary and integrated
effort. This is the need of the hour."
