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.

There are a minimum if 500- 1000 students are studying in each school with 1 or 2 working / dirty toilets and 40 - 45 minutes interval for lunch. Imagine the health condition of the students after their studies. Please provide ONE CLEAN / WORKING TOILET for at least 100 students.

Modiji, Please arrange counselling to all children once in a month in all schools. This will help to understand their problems. Please make a committee in all schools which include one lawyer, doctor etc. to give support to the needy after the counselling. please take steps to reduce the weight of bags of children as it is almost double or thrice the weight of children itself. It causes serious health problems to children in their life.
