There is a need to improve access to child health services. The Ministry of Health is focusing on promoting child health through appropriate interventions. Presently, the Department of School Education and Literacy, MHRD addresses the nutritional needs of school going children in the age group of 6-14 years through the Mid- Day Meal (MDM) Scheme. The Integrated Child Development Scheme (ICDS) under WCD also addresses the issues of child health. There is, however, a need to synergize the multi-sectoral interventions taken by the relevant GOI Ministries. The existing schemes need to be examined for their outcomes and impediments in implementation, including those of coordination. This theme seeks views and suggestions on how to ensure greater focus on child through improvements in existing schemes and suggest new holistic interventions.

Too much stress on students due to overload of theory content in the syllabus which directly reflect on students health.As child health development should be the center point in education system which is not only maintained by giving them healthy diet or balanced diet but also by teaching them how to reduce stress level in daily session of school timing for that health Education department should take necessary steps for health of students of our country.

Child health is the key of education System . Child health development should go parallel to education development. It is always said that a sound mind in sound body ,so a healthy child can absorb whatever he can learn. Education department should provide balanced diet which contain proteins, carbohydrates, starch, sugars, fiber, vitamins and minerals etc. For our body to be well- nourished we must take all essential nutrient required for proper growth and development.

MPPS THANGUDUBILLI A healthy child is a role model to an intelligent child. So there should be co-operation and co-ordination between education and health departments. Regular health check-ups and referral cases may increase the rate of literacy and standards of the students.
