The contributors analyze child poverty, nutrition, education, health, gender discrimination, child marriage, social exclusion, caste, tribal communities, and government welfare programmes. The book argues for child-centred social policies based on equity, rights, and evidence-based interventions to improve the well-being and development of India's children. It brings together multidisciplinary research to assess existing policies and suggest directions for future reforms.
