Millennium Development Goals A Glimpse on Status and Progress
Dr. Vilas M. Kadrolkar
Abstract :
The MDGs are the world’s targets for reducing extreme poverty in its many dimensions by 2015 including income poverty, hunger, disease, exclusion, lack of infrastructure and shelter while promoting gender equality, education, health and environmental sustainability. The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) have been widely accepted as a yardstick for measuring the development progress across the countries. The year 1990 has been considered as the base year and the year 2015 as the end period for this purpose. This paper examines the status and progress of MDGs in world and India. The reality is that most countries may achieve progress on some goals and face a unique set of challenges in achieving others; there is a wide variation of progress. Despite progress towards achievement of some of the targets, numerous Goals and targets are likely to be missed unless additional, strengthened or corrective action is taken urgently.
