National Youth Consultation on

Millennium Development Goals

 

The National Youth Forum, Anubhav Shiksha Kendra and WNTA are jointly organizing the National Youth Consultation on Millennium Development Goals in Nagpur, on December 9 – 10, 2006.

 

The Governments are making efforts towards achieving Millennium Development Goals in their own way. The youth of this Nation also can contribute in a different way. Making their Governance accountable may be the one way that youth may take over.

With the objectives of raising the awareness and understanding of MDGs among the youth leaders, assisting them in identifying the local issues around the MDGs and fostering as encouraging environment in which youth can collectively plan actions at local as well as at National level.
