Beti Bachao-Beti Padao: An Introseption

This paper is about Beti Bachao-Beti Padhao scheme that aims to generate awareness and improving the efficiency of welfare services meant for women. Today the society as a whole needs to change the attitude towards the girl child to end female feticide. The practice is prevalent among every strata of the society. Although there was a healthy sex ratio in the north-eastern region and tribal areas, in many parts of the country the incidence of female feticide is high. The Government has initiated this innovative scheme to save the lots of the girl children. The ‘Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao, ’ campaign has been launched to achieve this objective, of bringing about the awareness and the change. As, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar has asserted that Khap Panchayats have been part of old traditions and playing & resolving social issues as ‘Beti Bachao-Beti Padhao ’government programme for the girl child. Further, to engage with the nation, Beti Bachao Beti Padhao Group has been launched on my Gov platform in order to seek active participation, engagement and whole hearted support in making this initiative of the Government a grand success. All previous programmers of govt. was only concern to save girl, not related to enable & educate girl. This scheme will have vital & curial role playing in sex-ratio, female-feticide, skill girl, empower girl & sustain women. The access to various entitlements, changes in patriarchal mind-set etc. are to be addressed in order to ensure equal value, care for and survival of the infant and young girl child.
