Since citizens of India are its most valuable resource, our billion-strong nation needs the nurture and care in the form of basic education to achieve a better quality of life. This warrants an all-round development of our citizens, which can be achieved by building strong foundations in education. In our national perception education is essentially for all. This is fundamental to our all-round development. Education has an acculturating role. Education develops manpower for different levels of the economy. It is also the substrate on which research and development flourish, being the ultimate guarantee of national self-reliance. This book is written in a self-instructional format and is divided into five units. Each unit begins with an Introduction to the topic followed by an outline of the Unit objectives. The content is then presented in a simple and easy-to-understand manner, and is interspersed with Check Your Progress questions to test the reader’s understanding of the topic. A list of Questions and Exercises is also provided at the end of each unit, and includes short-answer as well as long-answer questions. The Summary and Key Terms section are useful tools for students and are meant for effective recapitulation of the text.

These years determine child’s survival and thriving in life, and lay the foundations for her/ his learning and holistic development. It is during the early years that children develop the cognitive, physical, social and emotional skills that they need to succeed in life. These early experiences are largely determined by supportive family and community care practices, proper nutrition and health care, learning opportunities, which in turn are dependent on enabling policies and investments for young children and families. In India, according to Census 2011 data, there are 164.48 million children of 0-6 years of age. Recognizing the need to provide quality pre-primary programmes, a number of constitutional and policy provisions have been made such as the 86th Constitutional Amendment, which introduced Article 21A on the right to free and compulsory education for 6-14 years old children. The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act 2010 guarantees children their right to quality elementary education. In this unit, you will learn about early childhood education, measures for promoting women’s education, and women empowerment and education. You will also study about education for gifted children and programmes for equalizing educational opportunities. Self-Instructional Material 3 Issues in Education: An Introduction 1.1 UNIT OBJECTIVES After going through this unit, you will be able to: NOTES Explain the importance of early childhood education Discuss the measures for promoting women’s education Explain the relation between education and women empowerment Define gifted children and discuss their characteristics and the importance of providing education to them Describe the significance of equalization of educational opportunities 1.2 EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION In this section early childhood education will be discussed. According to UNICEF, early childhood is defined as the period from conception through eight years of age. Child-centred Approach to Teaching Meaning of Child Centred Education A Dictionary of Education (1981) by Derek Rowntree considers child- centred approach/education/teaching as, ‘Rather woolly slogan, but its main point is made by teacher who claims ‘I teach children, not subjects’. This implies care for the child, his personality, needs and learning style and not just for his or her academic process.’ The Concise Dictionary of Education (1982) by G.R.

    REPORT OF THE NHRC COMMITTEE ON MISSING CHILDREN Presented by: P.C. Sharma Member, NHRC & Chairman of the Committee 1 C O N T E N T S FOREWORD 1. Constitution of the Committee at NHRC to Examine the Problem of Missing Children. 2. Situational Analysis of Missing Children in India. 3. Procedure Adopted by the NHRC Committee for Evolving Guidelines to Deal with Cases of Missing Children. 4. Issues Concerning Missing Children Dealt by the NHRC Committee. 5. Recommendations/Suggestions of the NHRC Committee. 6. Conclusions 7. Supreme Court Guidelines 8. Write-up on Missing Children by CBI. 2 FOREWORD Children are the nation‟s assets. A happy child will make his/her home and the country happy. The future of any country depends upon the right upbringing of its children, for which a congenial environment and adequate opportunities for wholesome development are essential. According to UNICEF‟s “The State of the World‟s Children,” report for 2006, one-third of the world‟s children lack adequate shelter, 31% lack basic sanitation and 21% have no access to clean, potable water. Illness, malnutrition, and premature death are common when children lack the most basic protection. The brutal killing of several innocent children in Nithari sparked off nation wide indignation on the abuse to which the victims were subjected and gross violations of their human rights It was shame that shook the nation‟s conscience. In order to put an end to this callous indifference and insecurity with regard to the protection of children and to prevent more lives from being lost in similar crimes, the National Human Rights Commission constituted a Committee to look into the issue of „missing‟ children.

  • Deki CSR Report for 2018-19
    Deki CSR Report for 2018-19 Consistent with Deki’s prime CSR mission of undertaking initiatives to improve the educational and economic well-being of girls and women from disadvantaged backgrounds, we began exploring a collaborative project focused on menstrual health with Mooncatcher – a philanthropic organization based in Albany, New York. The centerpiece of Mooncatcher’s activity is a reusable menstrual management kit that it distributes without charge to schoolgirls with the goal of allowing them to continue their education uninterrupted. In addition, their work also includes an educational element that provides instruction on not only the biological basis of menstruation but also how to manage it – a critical gap in the typical curriculum in developing countries. In addition, Mooncatcher’s operational model is to also provide employment to local women for the production of reusable pads. It is also critical to note the use of these reusable pads works toward reducing landfill waste that would otherwise result from the use of disposable pads. Our productive discussions with Mooncatcher early in 2018 led to a formative visit to Delhi by the organization’s Founder and Executive Director, Ellie von Wellsheim in October 2018. Our plans to establish a production center and supply-chain of materials took shape and by November 2018 we started a facility in NOIDA employing 6 local women. All materials and sewing equipment are sourced locally. With rising productivity, the staff has already exceeded the production targets that we set. Essential to the project is connecting with local school administrators to sessions with female students already experiencing menstruation.
