In 2015 the United Nations in its general assembly enumerated 17 sustainable development goals under the aegis 'envision 2030.' The term sustainable development can be understood as development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of the future generations to fulfil their requirements. As the name suggests, the aim of sustainable development is to harmonize our economic, environmental and social needs for now and future.

In May 2016, Sia Bishnoi and Taahira Bhalla of The Sri Ram School were teamed up together and encouraged to work on a social initiative based on one of the sustainable development goals of the United Nations. Since the importance of a strong water conscience is put deep into the minds of Sri Ram students, Sia and Taahira ended up choosing the sixth goal of water and sanitation. They initiated "project drakht-tapping the miracle tree" in consonance with the guidelines outlined by TGELF- the global educational leadership foundation in May 2016.
