“ At the stroke of midnight hour when the whole world sleeps India awakes to life and freedom. And now the moment has come to redeem it. Long, long years ago we made a tryst with destiny”

The famous horological statement “ At the stroke of midnight hour when the whole world sleeps India awakes to life and freedom. And now the moment has come to redeem it. Long, long years ago we made a tryst with destiny” has to still stand the test of redemption. In the light of this context, the status of UN millennium development goal is at crossroads with respect to India.

After independence, policy makers in India expected to tackle poverty by the “trickle down of growth” with higher growth resulting in larger trickle down and faster decline in poverty and thereby achieving holistic development 

.Alas! The growth hardly happened. The straight jacket formula featured by policy and lack of tailored approach with least targeted methods led to fall out of Trickledown theory.

There are plethoras of issues, which have been engulfing India since time then with no desired qualitative results. We at Development labs are trying to figure out the present development scenario and will present our views in a series format on the line of UN Millennium Development Goals, which we consider an effective global campaign covering almost all developmental causes.

We welcome comments and suggestion from the whole globe.
