Question

How India has been benefited by their programme formation of UNICEF

plzz i want a brief answer for my project ..plzz ☺☺

Answer 1

UNICEF began its mission in 1946 as a relief organization for children after World War II.  Its mandate soon expanded to helping children whose lives were at risk in developing countries. Almost 60 years later, UNICEF is more than 7,000 people in 157 countries and territories around the world. Nine of 10 staff members work closely with national and local governments and other partners around the world.

Answer 2

During the six or seven seconds that it takes to read Gabriela Mistral's quotation, 12 more children will have been added to the population of the world's developing countries. Based on the law of averages, two out of the 12 children will have died at birth, five will never see the inside of a classroom and only two will complete elementary education. All of them will grow up in the shadow of hunger, disease and ignorance. There are more than 1,000 million children below the age of 14 in the developing countries today. India has 230 million, of which 82 per cent are struggling for survival in a near-fatal environment.

"Mankind owes the child the best it has to give" - long before the UN introduced this noble maxim in its Declaration of Children's Rights, a special fund and a special organization were created for the specific purpose of improving the plight of deprived and destitute children - The United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF). Conceived in the turbulent aftermath of World War II as an emergency measure to aid the children of a war-ravaged Europe, UNICEF, 30 years later has been transformed into a gigantic global crusade aimed at providing the children of the world that promised tomorrow.

But how far has UNICEF succeeded in India, a country where health, education, nutrition and sanitation in rural areas are almost non-existent, or in most cases, are given little or no priority? Has UNICEF, bearing its gifts of finance, equipment and drugs, succeeded in bringing that elusive tomorrow any closer to the children of India? The question acquires an added significance with the advent of Children's Day on November 14.

In terms of material aid, UNICEF's contribution to India has been colossal. Between 1949 and 1973, UNICEF aid to India amounted to Rs. 71.6 crores. The Rs. 43.7 crores that UNICEF has pledged to India for the period 1974-79 represents the largest funding commitment that UNICEF has allocated to any single country. There is some form of UNICEF aid in evidence in every single State and Union Territory of India, and yet, its impact in relation to its input has been far from dramatic. It has now been over 27 years since UNICEF made its debut in India in the modest form of 150 tons of skim milk powder, and despite the avalanche of UNICEF aid that has followed since then, surprisingly few Indians are aware of the nature and scope of UNICEF's crusade in India. To discern any measure of the impact that UNICEF has made in India, a clearer picture of the agency's current objectives and involvement in India is imperative.
