Abstract: The Report consists of seven Chapters. While Chapter I introduces the issue at hand, Chapter II captures various International Conventions, Treaties and Declarations that concern the issue of ECD. Chapter III focuses on the constitutional context and its vision with regard to children including children below six years. Attempt has been made in Chapter IV to briefly examine the scope and nature of various policies and schemes in existence. This Report makes an attempt to suggest as to what kind of legal measures and binding entitlements be created dealing with ECD especially in respect of ‘Health and Nutrition’ and ‘Care and Education’ in Chapter V and VI, respectively.
