a Nation Wide drive launched by honorable prime minister "Narendra Modi" named as "Beti Bachao Beti Padhao "

1. Beti Bachao Beti Padhao
Presently government has created many development programmes and has taken
lot of initiative to promote and educate people by making them involved in this
schemes, one of the most important scheme is “Beti Bachao Beti Padhao” which
was launched by on 22nd January in 2015 at Panipat, Haryana by honourable
Prime Minister Narendra Modi. In order to improve the status of girls and give
them importance, Haryana Government celebrates an event named Beti ki Lohri
on January 14. The purpose of launching Beti Bachao Beti Padhao scheme is to
make girls independent socially and financially using their proper rights and
higher education. It helps in improving the awareness among commonpublic and
improving the efficiency of welfare services given to women. The whole purpose
behind this scheme is to make people aware of the importance of girl child in
society as well as bring some positive changes in the people mind sets towards
girl child. This scheme was more concentrated on rural parts of India like
Haryana, MP, since the data says “873 females per 1000 males” but it has
increased comparatively to past census. According to the statistics, the ratio of
girl child per male child (of age group 0-6 years) was 945/1000 in 1991 whereas
it remains only 927/1000 in 2001 and again reduced to 918/1000 in 2011. There
is huge reduction in the number of girls is because of the practice of aborting
female foeticide after sex determination through modern diagnostic tools in the
hospitals. This bad practice came into existence because of the gender
discrimination in the society. It is a very effective scheme which aims to improve
the number of girl child, save girl child, eradicate female foeticide, and give them
proper security and currently the most important one is to provide them proper
education since after birth of a girl child, she has to face another type of
discrimination in terms of education, health, nutrition, safety. We can say that
women were dis-empowered instead of being empowered. In order to
empowering women and give them their full rights right from their birth
government of India has launched this scheme. This scheme has been
implemented in 100 selected districts of the country (by the joint initiative of
ministry of Human Resource Development and Health and ministry of Women
and Child Development) through a national campaign in order to cover all the
states and UTs. We hope that there would be a day when no girl child would be
killed, uneducated, insecure, raped. This scheme may make a call to people to
end the discrimination between sons and daughters and work as a key to end
female foeticide. While launching the scheme, PMreminded to the whole medical
fraternity that the purpose of medical profession is to save lives and not finish
lives.
