Operational Study on Assessment of Local Child Bearing and Child Practices and their Impact on Child Development' under ICDS III Project

Agency : Department of Women and Child Development, GoR

In Rajasthan, a large number of children suffer from malnutrition, which is reflected in various morbidity patterns. It is therefore, essential to strengthen the local practices and also to augment local resources for the nutritional and health care of the children. Families do apply their traditional system while caring for their children. These practices were studied scientifically to assess their efficacy and look for corrective action to strengthen them to achieve the desired goals. The study aimed to suggest an effective communication strategy, including messages and channels to promote behavioural changes at the household level. The study was carried out in a pre-allocated sample of eight blocks of seven districts of the State and, keeping in view the clients' perspective and preferred mode of communication, it was suggested that strengthening inter-personal contacts with the family was essential for behavioural change. Direct, face-to-face interchanges are still the most frequently used forms of communication. Talking with each other, meetings, training in person, child-to-child, parent-to-child, parent-to-parent and caregiver-to-parent/ child interactions for learning are to be shared and built upon.
