Background

Nurturing care involves creating a stable, supportive environment by caregivers that promotes health, protection and developmentally stimulating interactions. There is a paucity of evidence regarding caregivers’ practices on caregiving and child-rearing and support for early learning opportunities in India. This study was conducted to assess the practices among caregivers of children (0–3 years) in all domains of Nurturing Care for Early Childhood Development (NC-ECD).
