Congress Manifesto Promise #8

The eigth from the manifesto is given below : Congress Manifesto - Peoples hope

Promise # 8 : We will ensure Child Welfare by doing the following:

1) The universalization of the ICDS(Integrated Child Development Services Scheme) by March 2012 and to provide an anganwadi in every habitation and full coverage of children up to the age of six for food, nutrition and pre-school education. Good Idea

2)The special requirements of children of migrant workers in towns and cities will be met through new programmes in association with civil society organizations. Hope this can be achieved by coordinating with various NGO's.

3)Introduce special incentives for the girl child to correct the adverse sex ratio and to ensure education of girl children. Girl children in districts that have an adverse sex ratio and/or low enrollment of girls, monetary incentives will be given to the girl child to be credited to the girl child’s account on her completing primary school, middle school, secondary school and higher secondary school. How much will be the compensation? Which districts have been identified?

The Promise # 8 can be accessed based on the implementation of each of above 3 targets.
