Mapping India's children: UNICEF in action
UNICEF
Mapping India's children: UNICEF in action - New Delhi UNICEF 2004 - 64p.
India is home to 19 per cent of the world's children. This vast country of stark contrasts and striking disparities - between urban and rural, men and women, rich and poor - is brought to life in a rich palette of maps and graphics to highlight the areas of UNICEF in action: its achievements and the challenges ahead.
Every year, some 26 million children are born in India - many more than in any other country. For some, globalisation has brought increased access to information, better health care and improved living conditions. For millions more, daily survival without safe drinking water or sanitation remains a struggle, and death from preventable diseases is common. This atlas endeavours to show how UNICEF assistance helps to improve the quality and reach of health care, nutrition and education. It also provides snapshots of particular issues confronting India - from HIV/AIDS to child labour - and shows how the success of small, community based programmes can be developed, replicated and sustained.
