Supriya Sule, MP and the chairperson of PG-MDGs that aims at taking up the key issues by parliamentarians in order to achieve the goals, went one step ahead at the conference and said that the MDGs have become 'a matter of conversation'.

'MDGs have become more a matter of conversation instead of implementation. Elections elsewhere like the US are fought on the issue of health policies. But here education and health are said to be issues of women's concerns!' she said.

'Having said that, I am glad that the Right to Education Bill, with all its lacunae, has been passed by the Rajya Sabha and will be in the Lok Sabha tomorrow. It means we are moving forward and change is evident,' Sule added.

To make all parliamentarians aware of the key social issues in order to fight for them, PG-MDGs presented a kit containing brief summaries of key issues and policy briefs to the members coming to the conference.
