&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Ahead of the Millennium Development Goals Summit next week, India has expressed confidence that it would be able to reach its social and economic goals by the 2015 deadline.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;India will not only have met the goals but it will be a shining example for other countries, Hardeep Singh Puri, India&#039;s envoy to the UN told PTI.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;There is concern about some of these targets,&amp;quot; Puri added, referring to child and maternal health.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;On Wednesday, Foreign Minister S M Krishna is scheduled to address the United Nations General Assembly on India&#039;s progress towards achieving the MDGs.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;On the other hand, analysts and several reports have suggested that that despite high economic growth, India is falling behind on its its goals, especially as it tries to provide basic amenities for a large population.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;India has low investment around 3 per cent in health&amp;quot; as compared to many African countries, which had decided to scale up investments for health to about 15 per cent of GDP, Michel Kazatchkine, the Global Fund&#039;s executive director, said.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The eight MDGs include eradication of extreme poverty and hunger, achieving universal primary education, promoting gender equality, reducing child mortality, improving maternal health, combating HIV/AIDS, and ensuring environmental sustainability.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;A UN report, released this week, found that although India&#039;s maternal mortality ratio came down from 570 deaths per&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;1,00,000 live births to 230 in 2008, but India still had the highest rates of maternal deaths in the world with at least 63,000 such deaths taking place in 2008 alone.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Overall, the UN estimated that 1000 pregnant women die every day from complications during pregnancy and child birth, a decline of 34 per cent but the resulting 2.3 per cent annual rate of decline is less than half of what is needed to achieve the MDG of reducing the maternal mortality ratio by 75 per cent between 1990 and 2015.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;A new report &amp;quot;A Fair Chance at Life&amp;quot; by the international organisation &amp;quot;Save the Children&amp;quot; finds that out of the 26 million children born in India every year, approximately 1.83 million children die before their fifth birthday, and a poor child in India and elsewhere is more likely to die by 5 than a rich one.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;On the sanitation front, a study released last year by the WHO and UNICEF found that India has the largest number of persons that defecate in the open- 665 million.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;In fact, more Indians have access to cell phones than to a toilet and basic sanitation.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;India for instance, is expected to slash the number of its extremely poor by 188 million by 2015 and poverty rates in China are also expected to fall around 5 percent.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Overall, the number of hungry people in the world is still unacceptably high, officials of the Food and Agriculture Organisation said this week, noting that&amp;nbsp; 925 million people will suffer from chronic hunger this year- 98 million down from 1.023 billion in 2009.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;With a child dying every six seconds because of undernourishment related problems, hunger remains the world&#039;s largest tragedy and scandal,&amp;quot; said Jacques Diouf, head FAO.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Ahead of the Millennium Development Goals Summit next week, India has expressed confidence that it would be able to reach its social and economic goals by the 2015 deadline.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;India will not only have met the goals but it will be a shining example for other countries, Hardeep Singh Puri, India&#039;s envoy to the UN told PTI.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;There is concern about some of these targets,&amp;quot; Puri added, referring to child and maternal health.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;On Wednesday, Foreign Minister S M Krishna is scheduled to address the United Nations General Assembly on India&#039;s progress towards achieving the MDGs.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;On the other hand, analysts and several reports have suggested that that despite high economic growth, India is falling behind on its its goals, especially as it tries to provide basic amenities for a large population.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;India has low investment around 3 per cent in health&amp;quot; as compared to many African countries, which had decided to scale up investments for health to about 15 per cent of GDP, Michel Kazatchkine, the Global Fund&#039;s executive director, said.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The eight MDGs include eradication of extreme poverty and hunger, achieving universal primary education, promoting gender equality, reducing child mortality, improving maternal health, combating HIV/AIDS, and ensuring environmental sustainability.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;A UN report, released this week, found that although India&#039;s maternal mortality ratio came down from 570 deaths per&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;1,00,000 live births to 230 in 2008, but India still had the highest rates of maternal deaths in the world with at least 63,000 such deaths taking place in 2008 alone.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Overall, the UN estimated that 1000 pregnant women die every day from complications during pregnancy and child birth, a decline of 34 per cent but the resulting 2.3 per cent annual rate of decline is less than half of what is needed to achieve the MDG of reducing the maternal mortality ratio by 75 per cent between 1990 and 2015.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;A new report &amp;quot;A Fair Chance at Life&amp;quot; by the international organisation &amp;quot;Save the Children&amp;quot; finds that out of the 26 million children born in India every year, approximately 1.83 million children die before their fifth birthday, and a poor child in India and elsewhere is more likely to die by 5 than a rich one.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;On the sanitation front, a study released last year by the WHO and UNICEF found that India has the largest number of persons that defecate in the open- 665 million.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;In fact, more Indians have access to cell phones than to a toilet and basic sanitation.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;India for instance, is expected to slash the number of its extremely poor by 188 million by 2015 and poverty rates in China are also expected to fall around 5 percent.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Overall, the number of hungry people in the world is still unacceptably high, officials of the Food and Agriculture Organisation said this week, noting that&amp;nbsp; 925 million people will suffer from chronic hunger this year- 98 million down from 1.023 billion in 2009.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;With a child dying every six seconds because of undernourishment related problems, hunger remains the world&#039;s largest tragedy and scandal,&amp;quot; said Jacques Diouf, head FAO.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Ahead of the Millennium Development Goals Summit next week, India has expressed confidence that it would be able to reach its social and economic goals by the 2015 deadline.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;India will not only have met the goals but it will be a shining example for other countries, Hardeep Singh Puri, India&#039;s envoy to the UN told PTI.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;There is concern about some of these targets,&amp;quot; Puri added, referring to child and maternal health.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;On Wednesday, Foreign Minister S M Krishna is scheduled to address the United Nations General Assembly on India&#039;s progress towards achieving the MDGs.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;On the other hand, analysts and several reports have suggested that that despite high economic growth, India is falling behind on its its goals, especially as it tries to provide basic amenities for a large population.&lt;/font&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The eight MDGs include eradication of extreme poverty and hunger, achieving universal primary education, promoting gender equality, reducing child mortality, improving maternal health, combating HIV/AIDS, and ensuring environmental sustainability.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;A UN report, released this week, found that although India&#039;s maternal mortality ratio came down from 570 deaths per&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;1,00,000 live births to 230 in 2008, but India still had the highest rates of maternal deaths in the world with at least 63,000 such deaths taking place in 2008 alone.&lt;/font&gt;

&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Ahead of the Millennium Development Goals Summit next week, India has expressed confidence that it would be able to reach its social and economic goals by the 2015 deadline.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;India will not only have met the goals but it will be a shining example for other countries, Hardeep Singh Puri, India&#039;s envoy to the UN told PTI.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;There is concern about some of these targets,&amp;quot; Puri added, referring to child and maternal health.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;On Wednesday, Foreign Minister S M Krishna is scheduled to address the United Nations General Assembly on India&#039;s progress towards achieving the MDGs.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;On the other hand, analysts and several reports have suggested that that despite high economic growth, India is falling behind on its its goals, especially as it tries to provide basic amenities for a large population.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;India has low investment around 3 per cent in health&amp;quot; as compared to many African countries, which had decided to scale up investments for health to about 15 per cent of GDP, Michel Kazatchkine, the Global Fund&#039;s executive director, said.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The eight MDGs include eradication of extreme poverty and hunger, achieving universal primary education, promoting gender equality, reducing child mortality, improving maternal health, combating HIV/AIDS, and ensuring environmental sustainability.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;A UN report, released this week, found that although India&#039;s maternal mortality ratio came down from 570 deaths per&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;1,00,000 live births to 230 in 2008, but India still had the highest rates of maternal deaths in the world with at least 63,000 such deaths taking place in 2008 alone.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Overall, the UN estimated that 1000 pregnant women die every day from complications during pregnancy and child birth, a decline of 34 per cent but the resulting 2.3 per cent annual rate of decline is less than half of what is needed to achieve the MDG of reducing the maternal mortality ratio by 75 per cent between 1990 and 2015.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;A new report &amp;quot;A Fair Chance at Life&amp;quot; by the international organisation &amp;quot;Save the Children&amp;quot; finds that out of the 26 million children born in India every year, approximately 1.83 million children die before their fifth birthday, and a poor child in India and elsewhere is more likely to die by 5 than a rich one.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;On the sanitation front, a study released last year by the WHO and UNICEF found that India has the largest number of persons that defecate in the open- 665 million.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;In fact, more Indians have access to cell phones than to a toilet and basic sanitation.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;India for instance, is expected to slash the number of its extremely poor by 188 million by 2015 and poverty rates in China are also expected to fall around 5 percent.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Overall, the number of hungry people in the world is still unacceptably high, officials of the Food and Agriculture Organisation said this week, noting that&amp;nbsp; 925 million people will suffer from chronic hunger this year- 98 million down from 1.023 billion in 2009.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;With a child dying every six seconds because of undernourishment related problems, hunger remains the world&#039;s largest tragedy and scandal,&amp;quot; said Jacques Diouf, head FAO.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Ahead of the Millennium Development Goals Summit next week, India has expressed confidence that it would be able to reach its social and economic goals by the 2015 deadline.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;India will not only have met the goals but it will be a shining example for other countries, Hardeep Singh Puri, India&#039;s envoy to the UN told PTI.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;There is concern about some of these targets,&amp;quot; Puri added, referring to child and maternal health.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;On Wednesday, Foreign Minister S M Krishna is scheduled to address the United Nations General Assembly on India&#039;s progress towards achieving the MDGs.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;On the other hand, analysts and several reports have suggested that that despite high economic growth, India is falling behind on its its goals, especially as it tries to provide basic amenities for a large population.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;India has low investment around 3 per cent in health&amp;quot; as compared to many African countries, which had decided to scale up investments for health to about 15 per cent of GDP, Michel Kazatchkine, the Global Fund&#039;s executive director, said.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The eight MDGs include eradication of extreme poverty and hunger, achieving universal primary education, promoting gender equality, reducing child mortality, improving maternal health, combating HIV/AIDS, and ensuring environmental sustainability.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;A UN report, released this week, found that although India&#039;s maternal mortality ratio came down from 570 deaths per&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;1,00,000 live births to 230 in 2008, but India still had the highest rates of maternal deaths in the world with at least 63,000 such deaths taking place in 2008 alone.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Overall, the UN estimated that 1000 pregnant women die every day from complications during pregnancy and child birth, a decline of 34 per cent but the resulting 2.3 per cent annual rate of decline is less than half of what is needed to achieve the MDG of reducing the maternal mortality ratio by 75 per cent between 1990 and 2015.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;A new report &amp;quot;A Fair Chance at Life&amp;quot; by the international organisation &amp;quot;Save the Children&amp;quot; finds that out of the 26 million children born in India every year, approximately 1.83 million children die before their fifth birthday, and a poor child in India and elsewhere is more likely to die by 5 than a rich one.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;On the sanitation front, a study released last year by the WHO and UNICEF found that India has the largest number of persons that defecate in the open- 665 million.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;In fact, more Indians have access to cell phones than to a toilet and basic sanitation.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;India for instance, is expected to slash the number of its extremely poor by 188 million by 2015 and poverty rates in China are also expected to fall around 5 percent.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Overall, the number of hungry people in the world is still unacceptably high, officials of the Food and Agriculture Organisation said this week, noting that&amp;nbsp; 925 million people will suffer from chronic hunger this year- 98 million down from 1.023 billion in 2009.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;With a child dying every six seconds because of undernourishment related problems, hunger remains the world&#039;s largest tragedy and scandal,&amp;quot; said Jacques Diouf, head FAO.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

India confident about achieving MDGs by deadline

Ahead of the Millennium Development Goals Summit next week, India has expressed confidence that it would be able to reach its social and economic goals by the 2015 deadline. "India will not only have met the goals but it will be a shining example for other countries, Hardeep Singh Puri, India's envoy to the UN told PTI. "There is concern about some of these targets," Puri added, referring to child and maternal health. On Wednesday, Foreign Minister S M Krishna is scheduled to address the United Nations General Assembly on India's progress towards achieving the MDGs. On the other hand, analysts and several reports have suggested that that despite high economic growth, India is falling behind on its its goals, especially as it tries to provide basic amenities for a large population. "India has low investment around 3 per cent in health" as compared to many African countries, which had decided to scale up investments for health to about 15 per cent of GDP, Michel Kazatchkine, the Global Fund's executive director, said. The eight MDGs include eradication of extreme poverty and hunger, achieving universal primary education, promoting gender equality, reducing child mortality, improving maternal health, combating HIV/AIDS, and ensuring environmental sustainability. A UN report, released this week, found that although India's maternal mortality ratio came down from 570 deaths per 1,00,000 live births to 230 in 2008, but India still had the highest rates of maternal deaths in the world with at least 63,000 such deaths taking place in 2008 alone. Overall, the UN estimated that 1000 pregnant women die every day from complications during pregnancy and child birth, a decline of 34 per cent but the resulting 2.3 per cent annual rate of decline is less than half of what is needed to achieve the MDG of reducing the maternal mortality ratio by 75 per cent between 1990 and 2015. A new report "A Fair Chance at Life" by the international organisation "Save the Children" finds that out of the 26 million children born in India every year, approximately 1.83 million children die before their fifth birthday, and a poor child in India and elsewhere is more likely to die by 5 than a rich one. On the sanitation front, a study released last year by the WHO and UNICEF found that India has the largest number of persons that defecate in the open- 665 million. In fact, more Indians have access to cell phones than to a toilet and basic sanitation. India for instance, is expected to slash the number of its extremely poor by 188 million by 2015 and poverty rates in China are also expected to fall around 5 percent. Overall, the number of hungry people in the world is still unacceptably high, officials of the Food and Agriculture Organisation said this week, noting that  925 million people will suffer from chronic hunger this year- 98 million down from 1.023 billion in 2009. "With a child dying every six seconds because of undernourishment related problems, hunger remains the world's largest tragedy and scandal," said Jacques Diouf, head FAO.
