India is certain to miss the crucial UN millennium Development Goals (MDG) including those related to reduction in poverty, hunger and infant mortality. According to a government report, the poverty ratio is likely to be 26.7% by 2015 as against the target of 23.9%, while infant mortality rate would be 43 per 1000 live births against the milestone of bringing it down to 27. The report says that malnutrition continues to be a major hurdle. The proportion of underweight children has lowered only by 3% – from 43% to 40% during 1998-99 to 2005-06.
