Nelson Mandela, former president of
South Africa had said,
“"There can be no keener revelation of a society's
soul than the way in which it treats its children."'
Children are important assets to a country. They are the future that leads a nation towards progress and development, if they are given the right of kind of nurturing ground. Conversely, every single child who is robbed off a happy childhood, is a question mark on what is the idea of development a country follows.
The Union Cabinet on April 18 approved the National Policy for Children, which will help guide implementation of programmes and schemes for children. The policy gives utmost priority to right to life, health and nutrition and also gives importance to development, education, protection and participation. Dr. Ishaprasad Bhagwat, National Health Manager, Save the Children, India appreciates approval of the policy but feels that while “in many areas, there will be the policy to look up to while drafting programmes. However, it will not be there for other areas.”
