For disaster management, the stakeholders as needo-population must become street SMART and SIMPLE with spiritual input flowing from Gita and Anu-Gita, told Prof. Goel.

All challenges and problems in the present era including natural and human-made disasters call for understanding the Gita-based principle of ‘Needonomics’ with spiritually guided materialism (SGM) strategy for needo-wealth, needo-health and needo-happiness, said Prof.Goel.

We have to address illness in the behaviour of all the stakeholders as consumers, producers, distributors, traders, policymakers, and politicians, told Prof. Goel.

We need faith in the capabilities and capacities of Indian youth based on disciplined needo-lifestyle, told Prof. Goel.

We need real education as proper, productive, and practical (3P)   use of head, heart, and hands (3H), believes the founder of Needonomics School of Thought.

To create demand for goods and services, there is a strong case for adopting the NAW (Need, Affordability, and Worth) approach to international marketing, believes Prof. Goel.
