'Child development has been neglected'
You could spot him slogan-shouting in a rally with as much passion as writing a research paper on hunger. A pillar and a moving force behind the Right to Food Campaign, it would be no exaggeration to say that JEAN DRÈZE leads his entire life and work, thoughts and action towards realising an undiluted dream of a hunger free India. He speaks to SOWMYA KERBART SIVAKUMAR on crucial issues in child development today and the need to ensure universalisation of the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) scheme of the government. http://www.hindu.com/mag/2004/08/22/stories/2004082200260201.htm
