INDIA’S PROGRESS ON THE MDGS

The poorest states in India (e.g., Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Rajasthan, Orissa, and Madhya Pradesh):• are among the most populous in the country, and

• have among the worst MD indicators.

Owing to more rapid population growth, these states will account for an even larger share of India’s population in 2015.

Therefore, India’s attainment of MDGs will largely depend on the performance of these states.

MDG ATTAINMENT IN THE POOR STATES OF INDIA

Clearly, attaining the MDGs will require action in the poorest states, districts and villages.

How can it be done? What will it take?

MDG ATTAINMENT

Using household survey data from various sources, we have attempted to quantify the factors associated with the reduction of infant mortality, child malnutrition, schooling enrollment, gender disparity, and hunger-poverty.

These models are used to project changes in MD indicators in the poor states by 2015 under certain intervention scenarios.

ESTIMATION OF HOUSEHOLD, BEHAVIORAL MODELS OF MD

INDICATORS

Economic growthExpanded adult male and female schooling

Increased access to water & sanitation

Improved electricity coverageIncreased access to pucca roads

GENERAL INTERVENTIONS

Increased government spending on health and family welfare, nutrition, and elementary education

Various sector-specific interventions, such asMore professionally-assisted deliveriesAntenatal care coverage and tetanus toxoid immunization for pregnant women

Increased number of primary schools per child aged 6-11

Reduction in the pupil-teacher ratioGreater irrigation coverage Increased foodgrain production per capita.

SECTORAL INTERVENTIONS

Large improvements in all the MD indicators are possible with concerted action in many areas.

Both general and sector-specific interventions will be important in attaining the MDGs.
