1 Answer


Nepal is partially successful in attaining Millennium Development Goals. My evaluation is presented in the table below:

S.N. Area of success Area of failure
1. Millennium development Goals seem to have been achieved to some extent in reducing poverty due to foreign employment, extension of infrastructures and education development. It seems unsuccessful in making infrastructures of development of quality, durable and strong type. 
2. It is found the Maternal and Child Mortality Rate too has decreased due to growth in public awareness, expansion of free health services and vaccinations against several diseases. It does not seem successful in providing safe housing and basic services to the people.
3. It has been successful to provide free primary and secondary education. It has failed in the goal of conserving ecosystem due to increasing deforestation and pollution.
4. Energy crisis has been reduced to some extent due to hydroelectricity generation, use of solar energy, bio gas, etc. Nepal's Millennium Development Goals has failed to control corruption.
