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.

children spend a significant amount of their time in a school or education environment Mental and emotional health and well-being are as important to a child's development. Addressing the needs of children with or at-risk for mental or emotional health issues can help improve their quality of life through adolescence and adulthood.. So we shoud give more care to them.

though govt has started mid day meal facility but the quality of food is very poor and the ration supplied to schools is sold and cheap quality of food is given to the children. i think govt should take care of the children's health as they are the future of our country. regular check ups and proper menu should be planned which is full of nutritive values

There should be a medical room in every school and basic health check up should be done periodically in schools and healthy diet should be encouraged

while teaching science child should be focussed towards health values and esp. at primary level meal planner should be made by the schools to encourage the nutritative values of the food and parent as well as child should be told its importance. though mid day meal is promoting health of the child but recently it has been seen the quality of the food has decreased due which children are falling sick. regular check ups should be done time to time
