MET contributes to Global Millennium Development Goals

Receives accolades from the United Nations and the Mumbai University

Any appreciation you get for your efforts is a reward. But when the United Nations globally applauses your contribution it is an international pat on the back!

As special efforts towards the Millennium Development Goals of the United Nations, MET League of Colleges presented an official paper to the 2006 High Level Segment of the Economic and Social Council (3-5 July 2006). The report in all six languages is in the official document system http://documents.un.org (document id: E/2006/NGO/32). A summary of the NGO Forum and some of the recommendations emanating from the statements that went to the High Level Segment can be found in the UN-NGO-IRENE website.

The paper was based on the launch of 150 missions to commemorate 150 years of the Mumbai University and was inaugurated in the presence of Dr. Abdul Kalam - Honourable President of India during the Sesquicentennial Celebrations of University of Mumbai in July 2006.

The 150 missions aim at achieving both the MDGs as well as reaching out to the urban poor. The students of MET will be actively working in achieving the missions in accordance with the desired output. Thus the MUSESQ helps in building the youth with a sense of social responsibility which in turn would impact their work attitude and performance, resulting in decent employment and enable them to value laws.

As the entire project focuses on the underdeveloped communities especially indigenous communities, MET feels that if technology- based interventions like utilisation of bio-wastes and weeds for critical energy production would succeed then sustained decent employment will surely not be a pipe dream.

MET's efforts were encouraged and accepted by the Mumbai University as an integral part of the Sesquicentennial Celebrations of University of Mumbai besides the UN pat.
