Today over Ninety percent of India's primary age children attend school. But sadly for many children the education they receive is failing to equip them with even the most basic skills of reading and writing, and even the most basic bench mark of learning. Schools are characterised by overcrowded classrooms, poorly trained teachers and rote learning. Play in the early ages has profound and lasting influence on Childs health, well-being and long term development. Fifty years’ studies of UNESCO have shown, early play experience to shape up Childs physical growth, capacity of learning, chances of finishing college, future employability and even income.
