This paper attempts to identify any relation of sex ratio patterns with the literacy rate and urbanization in the Punjab from 1971 to 2011. It is usually assumed that the sex ratio patterns had some relation or link with urban/rural location and literacy rate of the people. This paper discussed both aspects in detail to find any connects. Most people believe that the urban and rural sex ratios had different patterns titled in favor of the urban sex ratio. It was also felt that more educated people did not commit the crime of female foeticide or they starts giving equal rights to boys and girls in all spheres of life. Same time our census record does not shows anything in favors of our assumptions.
