摘要：The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) have helped in bringing out a much needed focus and pressure on basic development issues in India. Considerable progress has been made in the field of basic universal education, gender equality in education, and global economic growth. However there is slow progress in the improvement of health indicators related to mortality, morbidity, and various environmental factors contributing to poor health conditions. Even though the government has implemented a wide array of programs, policies, and various schemes to combat these health challenges. Though India has made good progress with regard to few MDG it still lags behind when compared to its immediate neighbors. India needs to gear up and come up with a comprehensive strategy which would plug the loopholes in the existing framework. India has made significant progress in some areas. India could have done much better in achieving MDGs if the government as policy making body and officials as implementing agency had serious concern, commitment, good governance, transparency and accountability. India lags behind on targets for empowering women through wage employment and political participation, reducing child and infant mortality and improving access to adequatesanitation. India's performance in achieving the targets of millennium development goal can be termed as mixed success with much scope for improvement.
