Health
Health challenges for children remain, despite significant improvements over the last 30 years.
Nutrition
One in every three malnourished children in the world is from India.
Water, environment and sanitation
Ensuring safe drinking water, good hygiene practices and access to effective sanitation saves and improves children's lives.
HIV/AIDS
Awareness and knowledge of prevention are crucial to checking the spread of HIV in India, the second largest HIV-prevalent country in the world.
Education
The number of children who are not in school remains high and gender disparities in education persist despite a major improvement in literacy rates during the 1990s.
Child protection
A large number of India's disadvantaged children, especially girls, are vulnerable to violence and exploitation.
