Abstract
Since its inception in 1966, the UNDP—the United Nation’s global development network—has been engaged in achieving its mission: to help people build a better life. The organisation has laid down the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) or the goals that every member nations must achieve by 2015. The first among them is to eradicate extreme poverty and hunger by halving the proportion of people living on less than one dollar per day between 1990 and 2015. The Indian development goals similarly lay down another objective, namely, reduce poverty ratio by five percentage points by 2012 by providing gainful, high quality employment to labour force added over the Eleventh Five-Year Plan period (UNDP 2012).
