Abstract

India’s role in relation to the MDG effort has a dual significance: one the on hand it is seen as a key contributor to the achievement of specific goals, but on the other – and perhaps more importantly – it is directly responsible for the well- being of over one-third of the world’s poor, thus implying an added responsibility to provide both moral and political leadership to the global effort to end poverty. India has a rich tradition of social and political movements. In the past these efforts have largely been directed towards ensuring the governance accountability towards nationally relevant goals and priorities. However, India’s emergence in recent years as a global economic power puts an onus on civil society within to look beyond its geographic boundaries and play a more active role in the global debates on poverty and development. One hopes that this effort will enrich the international development discourse and strengthen the global movement for rights and justice through the experiences and innovations of groups who are directly involved in the struggles and achievements of communities experiencing poverty and social exclusion.
