When it comes toChild Schemes and Plans in India, both the public and the private sector play a vital role. Both sectors come up with several schemes and plans that allow parents to invest for securing the future of their children. While the public sector schemes are mostly geared towards the deprived class of the nation, the private sector Child Schemes and Plans are mostly driven by capitalistic taste of profit making. Nonetheless, private sector schemes also make a good addition to the options that can be availed by parents and guardians to ensure that their children grow up into great humans on whom the whole nation can depend on.
