Early intervention and Early Education help to identify and address the developmental issues at an earlier stage increasing the ease and ability of the child and that of his or her parents to accept the challenges and face them with preparedness. Early diagnosis not only improves the children’s ability to reach their academic potential but also prevents the development of low self-esteem and behavior problems that further interfere with their ability to learn. Early intervention programs help children gain the basic skills that they usually learn in the first 2 years of life, such as: physical skills, thinking skills and communication skills. Children born with delays or disabilities are at risk of not meeting developmental milestones. To maximize a child’s educational potential, specialists recommend providing strategies as early as possible. These strategies help to manage problems before they become more severe.
Dry land areas in the country account for about 70 per cent of the cropped area and contribute more than half of the country's food grains production. These areas share 60 to 80 per cent of the output of coarse cereals, major oilseeds and fiber crops. Even after realizing the entire irrigation potential in the country, about half of the area will still remain un-irrigated. The sheer weight of this in crop economy alone can suppress or enhance the growth performance at the country. Stagnation of production and productivity has been observed in all the major food crops of dry land agriculture. The Watershed Development Programme is the basic need for integrated development and management of the land and water resources which provide life support for rural communities. Thus, the prospects for agriculture in the dry land areas are severely constrained by the specific feature of their natural resource endowments and the changed context.
