Millions of children the world is growing up in circumstances under which they never are able to fulfil the mental and physical potential with which they are born. This is a human tragedy which contains within itself the seeds of its own renewal. It is imperative to break the self-perpetuating cycle which is central to development process. without this all other investment in food production, community services and human resource development will be less effective because a significant proportion of people neither be able to contribute fully to them nor benefit fully from them.in view of this the present encyclopaedia entitled child and family welfare encompasses a wide range of contents and approaches in its ambit and, as such it is expected to be of much interest to a vast spectrum of scholars.
