The people of a country are its most valuable asset. The strength and prosperity of a nation lies in its people who are healthy, educated and economically self reliant. Hence, in fulfilling the directions given in the Constitution of India ,the government is committed to provide facilities and opportunities to its citizen for education ,health and nutrition with a long term goal of ensuring freedom from disease ,illiteracy and poverty. The future of a country is vested in its children. Children of today are the citizens of tomorrow. Hence, it becomes predominantly significant to take adequate steps for the holistic development of the child right from the beginning when he is in the womb of his mother. Such development of child needs adequate facilities for health, education and nutrition. Hence an intervention namely "INTEGRATED CHILD DEVELOPMENT SERVICES (ICDS)" was launched in the country.
