To lay the foundation for proper physical and psychological development of children is one of the stated objectives of Integrated Child Development Services Scheme, which is operational in India since 1975-76. This objective can not be achieved unless a positive change in maternal attitude is accomplished. The present investigation was conducted in an oldest project area of India to assess this change using an adjacent Non-ICDS area as control. Majority of the mothers in both the areas were apathetic towards the health, education and play of their children. Nevertheless one encouraging trend was also observed. Significantly higher number of mothers in ICDS area had positive attitude in all the three variables in comparison to mothers in Non-ICDS area. It appears that ICDS Scheme has given the start but to have more acceptable answers, in depth investigations at national level are needed.
为儿童的身心健康发展奠定基础是综合儿童发展服务计划（ICDS）的既定目标之一，该计划自1975 - 1976年起在印度实施。除非母亲的态度发生积极转变，否则这一目标无法实现。本次调查在印度最古老的项目区进行，以相邻的非ICDS区作为对照来评估这种转变。两个地区的大多数母亲对孩子的健康、教育和玩耍都漠不关心。然而，也观察到了一个令人鼓舞的趋势。与非ICDS区的母亲相比，ICDS区有显著更多的母亲在所有这三个变量上持积极态度。看来ICDS计划已经开了个头，但要得到更令人满意的答案，还需要在国家层面进行深入调查。
