“Care and development of young children  has been the primary responsibility of the family, supplemented by society through strong community bonds, and cultural mores and values” (Konantambigi, 2007, p. 31). The different systems of care are working in tandem to secure the goals of child development. A focus on the ‘Child Rights Approach’ has led to significant changes in policy and practice in the functioning of the Indian State. It is this development of efforts that has today brought us to a place where we are rethinking our strategy – the strategy of ‘shared responsibility’, finding resonance in the ‘Corporate Social Responsibility’ (CSR) approach.
