Healthy Child and Happy Gujarat 127

daily routine? How should be the toys of children? Which songs
should children listen to? What colour of clothes should they
wear? All these aspects require thought. Only if we start such a
mission in a country like India, can we save our country and
lay the foundation of progress. It is with this thought that my
government has initiated the Children’s University, and based
on my experiences, I wish to start it as soon as possible.

The future of the state which is in the form of young children
is in the hands of lady teachers. Unfortunately, these teachers
are not well-trained so they are clueless about how to spend
three hours with children. Healthcare experts should design
different programs for the needs of children right from the first
standard. These days, if you ask any woman under the age of
fifty about lullabies, most of them would not know anything.
The tradition of lullabies has been lost. Poets say that there is a
need to make a structure of writing lullabies in modern science.
We have not researched children’s toys or food which can be
extremely helpful in their development. The aim of Children’s
University is to change this situation, provide training and to
have scientific approach. I request to all who are into education
field to understand this concept. I will welcome anyone who is
willing to devote time to this initiative. There is no greater good
fortune than ensuring the well-being of five thousand children.
We usually observe that the entire family devotes its energy in
keeping an ill or mentally challenged child happy. If we adopt
the same attitude towards every child who is ill in society, we
will be able to achieve the expected results. Our slogan and
mission should be, “Healthy child means a happy society”.
