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.

concentrate on education, providing food is not schools's business....nothing much will improve by providing free food in schools...instead think of providing houses on rent for life time to their parents...food will come for them automatically.....

By keeping Height Weight and immunity power record easily we can find which child growth is slow or stopped. Maximum Rural Indian parents are poor or illiterate so they cant do this. So with help of local PHC and CHC this task can done successfully.

ALL THESE WOULD NOT ONLY BE HELPFUL IN BRINGING HEALTHY SOCIETY BUT ALSO BE HELPFUL IN DEVELOPING A NATION WITH EACH AND EVERY CHILD BEING HEALTHY.

Schools must have basic cleanlineas and hygiene lessons from the nursery classes so that this is inculcated from childhood and the child grows up with cleanliness and hygiene as a principle habit and this in turn will keep the surroundings clean leading to swatch bharat in the future and ultimately to good health.
