&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;A decision on this can be taken only when the pandemic begins to subside.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The world is still struggling to come to terms with the unprecedented impact that COVID-19 has had on every aspect of human life. The pandemic has forced cities and towns to go into lockdowns. The attendant side effects &amp;mdash; including the rather sudden withdrawal of certain social support services &amp;mdash; have affected large groups of people. For a good proportion of the working population, work from home is not an option and they have been summoned to their workplaces. And, the usual structures that would keep their young children safe while their parents are at work &amp;mdash; schools, anganwadis and balwadis &amp;mdash; are not operational. In this context, parents have made the fervent appeal to open up early child care centres. Two experts, Maya Gaitonde (honorary general secretary of the Chennai-based Bala Mandir Kamaraj Trust) and K. Shanmugavelayutham (convenor of Tamil Nadu Forum for Creche and Child care Services and a senior consultant in the Kasturirangan Committee), discuss key issues concerning the area of early child care, in a discussion moderated by Ramya Kannan. Edited excerpts:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;* The disruption that this pandemic has achieved is historic. Can we look closely at the particular problems in the field of early child care and development in this context?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Maya Gaitonde: If you look at early childhood and you start literally from the time when mothers are pregnant, there are health, nutrition issues. We know the criticality of the first 1,000 days, which takes care of the child in the womb as well. And then, of course, I would say that whatever problems did exist in early childhood care seem to have now escalated because of the pandemic. And, this affects every segment of society; those accessing the anganwadis are a huge segment, but the issue has affected mothers across the board. The problem is one of care and development, providing the right stimulation at the right time to children. It is affecting institutions, wherever the child is. Everybody is in a quandary when it comes to questions on school education and early childhood care.&lt;/p&gt;

The pandemic has forced cities and towns to go into lockdowns. The attendant side effects &amp;mdash; including the rather sudden withdrawal of certain social support services &amp;mdash; have affected large groups of people. For a good proportion of the working population, work from home is not an option and they have been summoned to their workplaces. And, the usual structures that would keep their young children safe while their parents are at work &amp;mdash; schools, anganwadis and balwadis &amp;mdash; are not operational. In this context, parents have made the fervent appeal to open up early child care centres. Two experts, Maya Gaitonde (honorary general secretary of the Chennai-based Bala Mandir Kamaraj Trust) and K. Shanmugavelayutham (convenor of Tamil Nadu Forum for Creche and Child care Services and a senior consultant in the Kasturirangan Committee), discuss key issues concerning the area of early child care, in a discussion moderated by Ramya Kannan. Edited excerpts:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;* The disruption that this pandemic has achieved is historic. Can we look closely at the particular problems in the field of early child care and development in this context?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Maya Gaitonde: If you look at early childhood and you start literally from the time when mothers are pregnant, there are health, nutrition issues. We know the criticality of the first 1,000 days, which takes care of the child in the womb as well. And then, of course, I would say that whatever problems did exist in early childhood care seem to have now escalated because of the pandemic. And, this affects every segment of society; those accessing the anganwadis are a huge segment, but the issue has affected mothers across the board. The problem is one of care and development, providing the right stimulation at the right time to children. It is affecting institutions, wherever the child is.

Should early child care centres be opened sooner? -Ramya Kannan

-The Hindu A decision on this can be taken only when the pandemic begins to subside. The world is still struggling to come to terms with the unprecedented impact that COVID-19 has had on every aspect of human life. The pandemic has forced cities and towns to go into lockdowns. The attendant side effects — including the rather sudden withdrawal of certain social support services — have affected large groups of people. For a good proportion of the working population, work from home is not an option and they have been summoned to their workplaces. And, the usual structures that would keep their young children safe while their parents are at work — schools, anganwadis and balwadis — are not operational. In this context, parents have made the fervent appeal to open up early child care centres. Two experts, Maya Gaitonde (honorary general secretary of the Chennai-based Bala Mandir Kamaraj Trust) and K. Shanmugavelayutham (convenor of Tamil Nadu Forum for Creche and Child care Services and a senior consultant in the Kasturirangan Committee), discuss key issues concerning the area of early child care, in a discussion moderated by Ramya Kannan. Edited excerpts: * The disruption that this pandemic has achieved is historic. Can we look closely at the particular problems in the field of early child care and development in this context? Maya Gaitonde: If you look at early childhood and you start literally from the time when mothers are pregnant, there are health, nutrition issues. We know the criticality of the first 1,000 days, which takes care of the child in the womb as well. And then, of course, I would say that whatever problems did exist in early childhood care seem to have now escalated because of the pandemic. And, this affects every segment of society; those accessing the anganwadis are a huge segment, but the issue has affected mothers across the board.
