We would like to appreciate such kind of move by the UN for engaging Municipalities by their capacity building in the poverty reduction and in a way community empowerment programme. This is a challenging job which entails education as an important and effective component especially education for sustainable development.
I look for active and positive participation of Municipalities in this meet and wish small municipalities like Patna Municipal Corporation, Bihar, India were also participate in this meet and get benefited.
We further appreciate sharing of outcome of this conference.

Dear Sir,
The UN has decided to engage municipalities for poverty reduction. This is a very good initiative taken by the UN to reduce poverty or to achieve the Millennium Development Goals. The UN should take every step coming from any part of the world or from any person to end poverty. However, I suggest the UN to advise every employee of UNDP,UNESCO,FAO, ILO, UNEP, WHO, the World Bank and other major development institutions to work for ending poverty and hunger at least in the village where the said employee was born. Every employee should ensure primary education to every resident, piped drinking water and flush toilets in every household and Kharanja in every street of the said village and also ensure that every resident in the said village of the employee learns "Pranayam" so that every resident remains healthy in his or her life and never falls ill.
So far as funding is concerned this can be done by the UN.
I hope the UN authorities will take note of this suggestion to end poverty. If the employee was not born in a village then he should pay attention to his or her ancestral village.
