GOAL 7: ENSURE ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Forest cover has increased to 21.02 percent and protected areas cover to about 4.83 percent of the country’s total land area. Reducing the energy intensity of GDP growth through higher energy efficiency will be the key to achieving energy security.India is on-track in achieving the MDG target for sustainable access to safe drinking water. The overall proportion of households having access to improved water sources increased from 68.2 percent in 1992-93 to 84.4 percent in 2007-08.
However India, which is one of the most densely populated countries in the world, has not recorded similar progress in improving sanitation facilities over the last decade. The proportion of households without toilet facilities declined from 70 percent in 1992-93 to about 51 percent in 2007-08. At current progress, the country is unlikely to achieve the target of reducing the proportion of households having no access to sanitation to 38 percent by 2015.

GOAL 6: COMBAT HIV/AIDS, MALARIA AND OTHER DISEASES
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eighty-six percent of transmissions of HIV and AIDS in India are caused by sexual activity. Much of this decline can be attributed to greater awareness and increasing condom use. Adult prevalence has come down from 0.34 percent in 2007 to 0.45 percent in 2002.Malaria diagnosis has declined from 1.745 percent in 2005 to 1.52 percent in 2009.India accounts for one-fifth of the global incidence of tuberculosis (TB), but India has made progress in halting its prevalence.

GOAL 5: IMPROVE MATERNAL HEALTH
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Between 1990 and 2006, there has been some improvement in the Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) which has declined to 254 per 100,000 live births as compared to 327 in 1990. However, despite this progress, India is expected to fall short of the 2015 target by 26 points. Safe motherhood depends on the delivery by trained personnel, particularly through institutional facilities. However, delivery in institutional facilities has risen slowly from 26 percent in 1992-93 to 47 percent in 2007-08. Consequently, deliveries by skilled personnel have increased at the same pace, from 33 percent to 52 percent in the same period. By 2015, it is expected that India will be able to ensure only 62 percent of births in institutional facilities with trained personnel.

GOAL 4: REDUCE CHILD MORTALITY
----------------------------------------------------------------------
India’s Under Five Mortality (U5MR) declined from 125 per 1,000 live births in 1990 to 74.6 per 1,000 live births in 2005-06.This means India would still fall short of the target of 42 per 1,000 live births by 2015. In view of these statistics, child survival in India needs sharper focus. This includes better managing neonatal and childhood illnesses and improving child survival, particularly among vulnerable communities. Survival risk remains a key challenge for the disadvantaged who have little access to reproductive and child health services.
