India to Fail UN Goals for Poverty, Infant Mortality

The proportion needs to reduce to 33 percent by 2015, going by the historical rate of decline. Compared to the health indicators of MDG, India is expected to lag in its performance. However India is set to deliver the mark set for primary education.

Primary education
By 2015 India is expected to hit the target set in terms of providing a full course of primary education to children everywhere in the country. The report said, “Achieving universal primary education is round the corner.” The numbers showed that India is all set to deliver the 100 percent target set for primary education for children by 2015. The report further noted, “Gender parity has already been achieved in primary education (in 2007-08 itself) and the disparity in secondary education is set to disappear by 2015,” as reported by TNN.

India has to come up with better means to provide and attain the goals set by UN in MDGs as it’s the mark of development and advancement of the country in terms of providing better lives for the people and children in the country.
