The Tamil Nadu government on Saturday released its state child policy and said the ‘unique’ effort aims at ensuring various aspects of children including their nutrition and education.
The Tamil Nadu State Child Policy 2021 was released by Chief Minister MK Stalin at the Secretariat, an official release said.
Mitigate problems
Even though Tamil Nadu fared better on many of the indices compared to the national average, some issues are preventable and need the attention of the state government. These include malnutrition, anaemia, infant mortality rate and body mass index, it said.
“In order to work towards mitigating these problems and by remaining steadfast in its commitment to create a bright future for its children and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals for children, TN has developed the Tamil Nadu State Policy for Children-2021 (TNSPC-2021),” the policy stated.
