MDGs refer to commonly shared notions of what constitutes and improvement in human welfare. Our plans have specific programs which deal with deal with each of the Human Development Goals; if these programs are successfully implemented then the Government will end up meeting the MDGs….
There is nothing wrong with making too many promises, it pushes the government to deliver on those promises. The central government has about 150 programs but over 90% of the money goes in the top 20 programs, that is not too many.
“Anything which promotes growth is surely also going to remove poverty. We are trying to improve access to education, to health services… Health is a key element in human welfare. Poverty is not to be just defined in income earning possibility, it is also access to essential service… like health, electrification, clean drinking water, sanitation. These are very important part in the efforts to remove poverty and the Government is involved in all of them.”
“India spends about the same proportion on Heath as other countries do, but the Government spends much less and much more expenditure is done on the private sector. Our feeling is that the Government needs to spend much more in order to strengthen health services… which is why we have launched the National Rural Health Mission and Rashtriya Swasth Bima Yojana (a government subsidized insurance)”
