| Case Studies | Read the Development Goals | For more information The World Bank New Delhi office is hosting a workshop entitled “Attaining the Millennium Development Goals in India: Role of Public Policy and Service Delivery” at the Imperial Hotel, New Delhi, on June 17-18, 2004. 
Nearly four years ago, the international community agreed to a comprehensive vision of development, now known as the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The MDGs place human development at the center of social and economic progress, and emphasize the value of global partnerships for development.
Globally, progress towards reaching the goals has been slow and uneven. India’s policy makers have set targets that surpass those of the MDGs. Reaching those targets is vital not only for attaining human development and economic growth within the country. Given India’s size, success is critical for the worldwide goal of reaching the MDGs by the year 2015. About the conferenceThe objective of this conference is to provide national and international perspectives on the challenges facing India’s attainment of the Millennium Development Goals. The conference will feature the presentation of a recent World Bank report entitled "Attaining the Millennium Development Goals in India” and showcase the vision of the country’s key policy makers for attaining these goals. The conference will also provide an overview of the United Nations support to the MDGs, and discuss concrete examples of policy interventions (through case studies) for achieving the MDGs in India.
