There is a need to improve access to child health services. The Ministry of Health is focusing on promoting child health through appropriate interventions. Presently, the Department of School Education and Literacy, MHRD addresses the nutritional needs of school going children in the age group of 6-14 years through the Mid- Day Meal (MDM) Scheme. The Integrated Child Development Scheme (ICDS) under WCD also addresses the issues of child health. There is, however, a need to synergize the multi-sectoral interventions taken by the relevant GOI Ministries. The existing schemes need to be examined for their outcomes and impediments in implementation, including those of coordination. This theme seeks views and suggestions on how to ensure greater focus on child through improvements in existing schemes and suggest new holistic interventions.

Recruitment of quality HEALTH TEACHERS in the primary, middle and secondary education will improve the situation. There are many MBBS graduates, wandering for jobs. Out of those who are dedicated to education must be recruited.

.Today we are living in computer age. Still many schools issue hand written marksheet to the student.We are not making use of computers for preparation of result.There are many schools where teachers are preparing result manually and this is sheer wastage of time and talent.

Too me its not only matter concerned with ministry of health, today many children from deprived class lack basic amenities, they don't get proper environment to learn and contribute to nation, every child should get basic things like education, health services, security and good environment to develop both skills and soul under one umbrella, one organization, one ministry. Every child has right to have right to good environment for better future. These children will be the pioneers of nation.
