 "Ending poverty in UP a must for World Bank mission: Kim")
World Bank Group President Jim Young Kim today said the mission of the multilateral institution was to end poverty, and there is no way in achieving this objective for the country without ending it in Uttar Pradesh.
"We have called on two fundamental ideas one is end to poverty... In this generation, we think that we can end the poverty," Kim said in a joint press conference with Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav here.
He said there is no way the plan could be successful in achieving the aim of ending poverty without being successful in UP.
The other issue on which the bank is focussed is to further 'sheer prosperity'.
"In other words, we are very focussed on economic growth which brings jobs. We know that in the developing countries 90% jobs are created in the private sector, so we need the growth in this sector," he said.
