Summary, etc. Development programmes aimed at reducing poverty do not necessarily reach children, or improve the environment in which they live and grow. It is acknowledged that while national development efforts for poverty alleviation would continue, the needs of children must be met today. As per the 1991 census, India has around 150 million children, constituting 17.5 per cent of India's population, who are below. the age of six years. A majority of them live in economic and social environments which could impede the child's physical and mental develop ment. These conditions include poverty, poor environmental sanitation, disease infection, inadequate access to primary health care,<br/><br/>inappropriate child caring and feeding practices. The National Policy for Children, 1974, is founded on the conviction that child develop ment programmes are necessary to ensure equality of opportunity to these children.<br/><br/>It provides the framework for assigning priorities to different needs of children (both before and after birth), and for responding to them in an integrated manner. Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) is India's re sponse to the challenge of meeting the holistic needs of the child, launched initially in 33 blocks, on October 2, 1975-20 years ago.<br/><br/>Today, the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) is one of the world's largest and most unique outreach programmes for early childhood care and development. It symbolises India's commitment to its children. It is widely acknowledged that the young child is most vulnerable to malnutrition, morbidity, resultant disability and mortality. The early years are the most crucial period in life, when the foundations for cognitive, social, emotional, language, physical/motor development and lifelong learning are laid. Recognising that early child hood development constitutes the foundation of human development, ICDS is designed to promote holistic development of children under six years, through the strengthened capacity of caregivers and communities and improved access to basic services, at the community level.
