Handbook on child

An understanding of those who thought and planned for children, will make us appreciate the vision they had for the future of the child. Without this knowledge and awareness, one cannot admire and appreciate 'those' who have made childrens' existence conspicuous and have made a solid contribution towards children. The first chapter highlights the place of child in the past. The subsequent chapters deal with the National Policy for Children and the events that lead to the planning of this historic event. Equally important are others on Child Legislation, the Childrens Charter and Rights of the Child and these find an important place in the book.

Chapter seven deals with the Universal Children's Day which is celebrated every year. Each year new theme has contributed to the different needs of the children and has created awareness in the gaps in services. The chapters that follow deal with different organisation engaged in promoting the well being of the child.
