At the Millennium Summit in September 2000, the states of the United Nations reaffirmed their commitment to work towards a world in which sustaining development and eliminating poverty would have the highest priority. The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) grew out of the agreements of world conferences organised by the United Nations.
During its Fourth Annual Regional Meeting (ARM), OWSA launched its MDG tune
that was formally released by Dr. Kiran Bedi, the winner of the Ramon Magsaysay award and Civilian Police Advisor to the United Nations (UN) Department of Peacekeeping Operations. The tune composed by a creative community personality is also accompanied by a song in Hindi. The composition was rendered during the function and expressed beautifully through a ballet-Kathak.![]()
