BHOPAL : India has created a new Guinness record and Madhya Pradesh has become the single region across the world where the largest number of people — a whopping 3.3 million — joined the "Stand Up Against Poverty" event earlier this week. The event was aimed at raising mass awareness about the promise of 189 nations to eradicate poverty and diseases such as HIV/AIDS by 2015. This promise is reflected in a set of eight goals called the Millennium Development Goals. The achievement was announced at a press conference here on Wednesday by United Nations Millennium Campaign Director Salil Shetty, which he addressed with Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan. Mr. Shetty said that some 23 million people across the world participated in the event organised by the United Nations Millennium Campaign on October 15-16.
