Human capital is the most important capital of any country. In such a situation, special care should be taken for the early education and health of a child born in any country of the world. According to an article published in the Lancet Journal, a shocking figure has come to light. In low and middle-income countries, about 182 million children aged three to four years are not getting adequate nutrition as per their needs. These children are deprived of adequate nutrition and care. In such a situation, their physical development and health are in danger.

Many researches around the world have revealed that the first thousand days of a child are very important. Children between the ages of 2-5 years need proper care. According to researchers, during the thousand days, children are often not in direct regular contact with health or education services. During this time, children should be given better food and education, but in LMIC countries, only one-third of children between the ages of 2-5 participate in early care and education programs.

With less than one in three children attending early childhood care and education programs at the age of three or four, the authors call for increased investment in this stage of child development, with a focus on improving access to high-quality early childhood care and education programs.

These programs include increasing access to high-quality early childhood care and education programs for children. These programs should include trained teachers, appropriate child-teacher ratios, and appropriate curriculum for better intellectual development of students.

Providing one year of early childhood care and education for all children would cost less than 0.15 per cent of current GDP in LMIC countries on average, according to a new analysis in the Lancet series. The potential benefits of these programmes would be 8-19 times greater than the cost of implementing them, the article said. Katherine Draper of the University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa and co-chair of the series said that the first 1000 days of a child are very important, so low and middle income countries should come together for the development of children.
