Abstract

Education, nutrition and welfare schemes of the government need an extraordinary amount of individual attention. Given the size of the problem, and the complexity of issues involved – there is no other alternative. In addition to decentralization of authority and responsibility for spending money, programmes need to have much smaller 'beneficiary' groups than at present. Where there is one aanganwadi, we probably need four. Children are not passive but active participants in the process of their development and education. Throughout our research it was the interactions and activities with children that gave us an in-depth understanding of the functioning of the school, teacher attitudes/practices, physical and verbal abuse in the classroom, household nutrition/food practices and the negative impact they have on children’s self-esteem/dignity.
