Suggestions by Maction Consulting:

As per our survey respondents, common citizens from India lack basic knowledge regarding the G20 organization, despite its global reach. It is important to note that the G20 is a world-level organization and not regional or local. Governments from all participating countries should utilize various forms of media to disseminate information about the organization, which is primarily structured to work at the government level and not for business, education, or other levels.
