Bikash Choudhury

A lot of effort is being put by Govt. and organisations working in development sector to reach millennium development goal; however, we are no where closer to the target. Poverty,Universal access to primary education and minimal Child & Maternal mortality pose biggest challenge for achieving MDG by 2015.If UN is serious to accomplish MDG objective; then, it has to convince member countries to contribute additional funds matching ten percent cut in respective defense expenditure and further UN must bring in private enterprise to execute a major chunk of 1-8 MDG along with NGO/Govt./multilateral agencies in order to bring efficiency & effectiveness to developmental work with an idea of profit.
