The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Rana on 2015-12-14.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is their assessment of the efficacy of UK aid to India in 2015.

Baroness Verma

The UK can be proud of the results that its aid to India continues to achieve. For example, during the five years to 2015, UK aid has ensured that over 3.5 million pregnant women and children under 5 are covered by nutrition programmes in eight low income states; that over 1.3 million people have sustainable access to improved sanitation; and that over 600,000 additional people have access to low carbon energy.
