Abstract
Devika and Bala are two among the 33 million
children between 3-6 years of age attending
about 1.3 million Anganwadi Centres (AWCs) run
by Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS)
Scheme of the Ministry of Women Development
and Child Welfare to provide nutrition, health
and early education services. The children learn
through play and meaningful activities facilitated
by the teacher. Most of the children attending
AWCs come from disadvantaged families. Does the
learning ability of these children depend on their
socio-economic conditions? If they grow up failing
to learn to read or write and dropout subsequently,
is it due to their individual inadequacies influenced
by factors such as poor habits, laziness or the lack
of interest in education? Do poverty, caste, religion
and other social differences account for their
learning abilities?
