  • Speaking about the management of solid waste, another component of cleanliness mission, Puri said, "I am afraid that the capacity augmentation which is required is taking place at a very fast rate, but I would like to see that (waste management projects') completion."

    "Land is a state subject and the only way to deal with it is through participation of stakeholders," he added.

  • Development goals

    OECD designed previous set of development goals
  • The previous set of development goals, the Millennium Development Goals, were conceived, designed and put into a package in which the thinking was done by the West, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).

    These were developed in Paris and then brought as a package to UN to all member states on the basis of "take it or leave it" package, Puri said.

    Suucess of Millenium Development Goals

  • Puri said the success of the MDGs essentially revolved around the fact the China was able to lift hundreds of millions of people out of poverty and India also did well in that front and took the number two slot.

  • SDGs

    SDGs were negotiated by 193 UN members

    SDGs were negotiated by 193 UN members
  • The beauty of the SDGs was that they were negotiated by the 193 member states and all stakeholders put together.

    The MDGs succeeded because of China, and the SDGs will succeed because of India.

    If India succeeds, the SDGs succeed because India is that one next bastion which is right in the center of the whole SDG exercise, he said.
