Every nation has days that honour its history, its heroes, its achievements, and its aspirations. National Early Childhood Education Day is a day dedicated to India’s greatest national asset—its children..
The Launch Of A National Movement
WHY 10 AUGUST?
10 August is more than a date—it is a symbol of new beginnings.
The number 10 represents the final days before a child's birth, reminding us that the foundations of life begin even before birth.
The month of August commemorates India's independence and the birth of a free nation.
Mission 2000 brings these two ideas together: the birth of a child and the birth of a nation's future. By investing in every child's first 2,000 days, we build India's Human Capital and strengthen our National Capability.
The Most Meaningful Investment
WHY EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION MATTERS?
