EARLY CHILDHOOD CARE AND EDUCATION (ECCE) CENTRE ( BALUPVAN ) IN DEMONSTRATION MULTIPURPOSE

Abstract

India is the home to the largest child population in the world. The first eight years of life are critical years of human life since the rate of development in these years is more rapid than at any other stage of development. “The development of children is the first priority on the country’s development agenda, not because they are the most vulnerable, but because they are our supreme assets and also the future human resources of the country”. Each child requires a safe and nurturing environment to develop optimally.
