Early Childhood Care & Development (ECCD) |Human Capital Begins at Birth|

Описание: Early Childhood Care and Development (ECCD) is no longer a welfare issue — it is a strategic investment in India’s human capital. In this detailed UPSC editorial analysis, we decode why the first 3,000 days of a child’s life are critical for India’s ambition of becoming a Viksit Bharat and a $30 trillion economy by 2047.

Drawing from The Hindu editorial and global scientific evidence, this video explains how early nutrition, emotional security, cognitive stimulation, and responsive caregiving shape lifelong outcomes such as learning ability, productivity, health, and social mobility.

🔹 What you will learn in this video:

✔ Why 80–85% of brain development happens in the first 1,000 days
✔ ECCD as a human capital and economic reform, not a welfare scheme
✔ How early investment reduces future healthcare and education costs
✔ Role of Mission Saksham Anganwadi, POSHAN 2.0, ICDS & National Health Mission
✔ Gaps in India’s child development approach — survival vs holistic development
✔ Policy imperatives: integrated ECCD framework, parental support, early detection
✔ Importance of inter-ministerial convergence and social mobilisation
