Gramin Seva Trust, a non-corporate entity, presented its work on nutrition and primary education before a State SDG coordination meeting. Which feature of India's SDG implementation model best explains why the State government invited it?

  2. BThe rule that only companies can contribute to SDGs
  3. CThe requirement that trusts register under the Companies Act, 2013
