Various issues related to children have been raised with their goals and targets in Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) 2015 but still some issues were silent in MDGs such as reducing inequality, ending violence against children and combating child poverty. There are 472 million children in India under the age of 18 years. This constitutes 39% of the total population in the country (Census 2011) From last so many years many countries are implementing various programmes, schemes and projects through income supports, social insurance policies, childcare, education and health policies. But less investment in child development is done on a fundamental aspect of social and economic development. Hence, sustainable development Goals 2030 has recognized and addressed those issues right from the introductory text for children, youth and future generations. SDGs were framed keeping in mind the following key features such as: • 5 Ps are people, planet, prosperity, peace and partnerships • SDGs are “integrated and indivisible, global in nature and universally applicable. • SDGs are “unprecedented in scope and significance. Sustainable development should be in all aspect related to social, economical and environmental development. This has to be achieved through protection of child rights and child development at individual, group and community levels. SDGs focuses on child friendly and healthy environment for children to live. Nine goals of SDG are directly or indirectly targeting the development of children. The current paper tries to map out the concerns of children in India and a means by which child investment can be strategized with a view to long term social progress through governmental schemes and policies for child development.
