10. UNICEF in India UNICEF's partnership with India began in 1949. Its first office was established in New Delhi in 1952. The nodal agency in India for interacting with UNICEF is the GOI's Ministry of Women and Child Development. Currently, UNICEF works in 17 states with more than 400 staff members. UNICEF has been very active in India in the past many decades. Most of their work in the country is by partnering with the government in the implementation of the various governmental schemes. Though initially, the organization focused on providing medicines, equipment and supplies, currently, it contributes in many broad areas such as providing low-cost, nutritionally balanced food products from locally available food sources; giving training to personnel engaged in child-care projects, sanitation, water supply, health and family planning; and evolving simplified basic-educational kits, specially in the field of science and technology.

11. UNICEF's priority in India is children in the age group 0-5 years since most deaths happen within this group. For this, UNICEF seeks to work with mothers and ensure they have access to adequate nutrition and healthcare. A second area of priority is to focus on vulnerable areas like slums, backward remote areas, drought or flood-prone areas, etc. Another important point is, India is among the top donors to UNICEF. A problem encountered in the functioning of UNICEF in the country is that since it works in tandem with government schemes, the execution is sluggish in pace .
