Abstract

This chapter presents a glimpse of the overall accomplishments of Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) until 2015 while paving the way for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This chapter examines the experiences of Bangladesh and India in achieving the MDG targets and particularly highlights goal-specific gaps at the national levels of the two countries. The analysis identifies the major driving forces toward achieving SDGs and outlines policy directions to accelerate performance in lagging areas. Further, this chapter also identifies major development concerns that Bangladesh and India need to resolve for achieving a better, more inclusive, and sustainable future in the SDG era. Sustainable development in India and Bangladesh would be contingent upon their convergences with the vision of the SDGs.
