UN MDG Summit 2008 in Mumbai
November 20th 2008 04:53
Mumbai recently hosted the UN MDG Summit 2008. Around 300 international delegates were a part of this.
It was hosted at the Jaihind College in South Mumbai. All the participants were divided into 8 groups and each group was assigned one of the 8 MDG's. These 8 MDG's had been fixed by the world leaders in 2000. They wanted to quantify the amount of social outreach being done and thus these 8 goals were set to be achieved by 2015.
Now that we are at the mid-point of the 15 years this summit was to evaluate how much had been done and what more can be done in order to achieve the targets.
The delegates got together and made proposals for achieving their MDG and also made a documentary! These documentaries are to be shown at UN head quarters.
I was a delegate at this Summit. You can read my personal views on my other blog...
