Abstract
This analysis considers the different laws relating to children in India, and identifies gaps and inadequacies in the existing legal framework.
Focus On Children Under Six (FOCUS) draws on a detailed survey -- the “FOCUS survey” -- of the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS), the only major national programme addressed to children under six. The report shows that the ICDS programme tangibly benefits Indian children, and makes a case for securing core universal entitlements for all children.
