Top 10 Indian States in Term Of Child Development - Kerala Number 1

Child development is a great issue in our country India. Today we are going to show the Child Development Index. A report that was done by two persons Reetika Khera and Jean Dreze. Reetika Khera is a development economist and teaches in IIT-Delhi and Jean Dreze is also a development economist. The report was published on the official site of NDTV. In that report both they reported Indian States in Term Of Child Development. In the list Kerala is on top which means this state focuses more on Child Education and Development.

They used the data of National Family Health Survey & Rapid Survey On Children 2013-14. These were the key indicators to complete the index of Child Development :-

Proportion of children aged 12-23 months who are fully immunized

Female leteracy rate. age 10-14*

Proportion of births preceded by health checkup

Proportion of children below age 5 who are not underweight

These were the key indicators of the index. They compared the result of these points in 2005-06 with 2013-14. After comparing these factors they produced the Child Development Index.

Sources: National Family Health Survey 2005-06 (NFHS-3), International Institute for Population Sciences (IIPS), Mumbai (2007); Rapid Survey On Children (RSOC) factsheets downloaded from the website of the Ministry of Women and Child Development; Census data 2001 and 2011, for age-specific female literacy rates. 

We can see that children growth is not focused for a very long time. In the list Kerala, Himachal Pradesh and Tamil Nadu are at the top and Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh are at the bottom. They too can make themselves better by learning the ways from these states who are at the top. A right guidance is much important for them. As you all know children are  the future of our country and if we do not focus on their development then what will be the future of our country. We should learn the modern techniques to educate them and in the field of their development.
