An India Neurobiologist has stated that if the country for the last ten years has taken steps to ensure health, nutrition, sleep and education, which would unlock the nation’s demographic dividend and the power of youth. The Tata Institute of Fundamental Research scientist Vidita Vaidya has said she and her colleagues are trying to identify the complexities of stress in kids.


Vidita has said a child should not have stress at an early age and trauma under the age of 10 will have lifelong consequences. She has further added that a child during the age below 10 years are given more pressure at school which leads to increased risk of psychiatric disorders which includes depression, anxiety and drug addiction.


People don’t realize the effects of stress and they persist for a longer period of time in a child’s mind. There are certain epigenetic enzymes which are present in the brain that regulates the gene expression which would allow making proteins.


The fundamental rights of children have to be actively protected by the government. If that window is not made right, you can’t fix it easy later in life. If India got the first decade right then it could unleash its power, which was said by Vidita Vaidya.
