Government of India Ministry of Women and Child Development

Working Papers from eSocialSciences

Abstract: Around 40 per cent of children remain undernourished with their growth and development impeded irrevocably, over the lifetime. Strong Constitutional, legislative policy, plan and programme commitments including a range of national programmes notwithstanding, improved early child development outcomes remain a real challenge. Certainly, there is a need for higher investment, greater commitment at all levels besides application in terms of design, delivery and deployment of resources, both human and financial to restore the overall growth and development of children.
