Child development in India is the Indian experience of biological, psychological, and emotional changes which children experience as they grow into adults. Child development has a significant influence on personal health and, at a national level, the health of people in India.
Children constitute a significant part of the national disease burden of India. Environmental health problems such as Pollution-related diseases, challenges with a water supply, and sanitation in India are difficult to fix and greatly affect children. Many children in India miss vaccination and consequently acquire infectious diseases that vaccines could have prevented.
40% of children in India experience malnutrition or stunted growth due to lack of access to healthy meals. India has a success story in the Midday Meal Scheme, which feeds 100 million children daily.
