Dear Vinoth, May I know if your wife is an earning member of your family? (Tax Assessee). What are your financial goals and their time-frames? Have you been investing/saving in other schemes/fin products?

Dear Vinoth, (Below is my reply to your PVT response..) You have not mentioned about your financial goals. Though PPF is a good long term savings scheme, one needs to take more risk to accumulate decent Corpus/wealth for long term goals like Kid's education / retirement ... So, if you are ok to take risk, suggest you to opt for ELSS funds (accumulation + tax saving), if tax saving is not your priority, you may invest in equity oriented funds itself. Your portfolio is ok. Do you have adequate life insurance cover? What about health insurance?
