Key Topics to Revise

1

Why Support Services Are Needed

  • Family is the basic unit of society, but it cannot always provide all specialised services needed for optimal growth and development.
  • Communities create schools, hospitals, universities, recreation centres, and training centres to meet specialised needs.
  • Many families are unable to meet basic needs because of poverty and lack of resources.
2

Children: Vulnerability and Support

  • Children are vulnerable because childhood is a period of rapid development in all areas.
  • If food, shelter, health care, love, nurturance, and stimulation are not met, development can suffer permanently.
  • Nearly two-thirds of children under five years suffer from moderate or severe malnutrition.
3

Institutions and Programmes for Children

  • Integrated Child Development Services is the world’s largest early childhood programme.
  • ICDS meets health, nutrition, stimulation, and early learning or education needs of children below six years in an integrated manner.
  • ICDS also provides health, nutrition, and hygiene education to mothers, non-formal pre-school education to children aged three to six, supplementary feeding, growth monitoring, and basic health care.
4

Youth: Vulnerability and Support

  • Youth is a vulnerable period because of rapid biological changes, identity formation, and preparation for adult roles.
  • The National Youth Policy, 2014 defined youth as persons in the age group of 15-29 years.
  • Those between 13 and 19 years are called adolescents.
