Our Bureau

New Delhi, March 15

More than $130 million is being made available for an expanded Department for International Development (DFID) and Unicef Strategic Partnership for India to accelerate progress to the Millennium Development Goals.

The new partnership will support Unicef's work in India focusing on some of the poorest States such as Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, to improve delivery of primary healthcare and education. According to an official statement, "The partnership will complement the national and State Governments' increased commitment to transforming the lives of children with a focus on reaching the most socially excluded."
