An outstanding achievement!
Eight highly challenging goals were set by the UN for the developing nations to achieve by 2015. Among them the number one goal was to halve the number of people suffering from extreme hunger. Bangladesh has already achieved this goal by reducing the percentage of population living below poverty line from 58.8% in 1990 to 29% in 2013. This is an outstanding achievement. When Bangladesh is faced with numerous political and economic problems, this success will inspire us to work for further development of the country.
