The XI th Five Year Plan is up on the Planning Commission Site. For the first time in the history Planning in India, the section on children is called Child Rights and not Child Welfare. Indeed the chapter is creatively titled Towards Women's Agency and Child Rights
As has been the trend so far, a single chapter has been dedicated to Women and Children. This does little justice to either groups. The next step is to help women and children find their own place in the planning document. Small beginnings and large steps.....we need to keep moving
