Beti Bachao Beti Padhao Article

Beti Bachao Beti Padhao programme is a nationwide scheme launched purposefully

to address the issue of decreasing girl child ratio in the society as well as
empowering girl child in the country. This scheme was successfully launched by the
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 22nd of January in 2015 at Panipat,
Haryana. This scheme is to make people aware of the importance of girl child in the
Indian society as well as bring some positive changes in the people mindset towards
girl child. People in the Indian society have very rude mindset about the girl child.
They think that girls are like burden in their life who only need to take whole life
from their parents or husbands and never give.
However, it is not true, girls occupy almost half population of the world so they are
half responsible for the existence of life on the earth. Less importance of girl child in
the human society is causing suspense of life existence on the earth as where there
is no women, no new birth would be. The continuous decrease in the ratio of girl
child per boy child is clearing this issue very well. So, this scheme has been
launched by keeping in mind to prevent gender determination, female foeticide,
save girl child, ensure safety of girl child, as well as provide quality education to
them.
Two schemes have already been launched by our PM in Haryana, a state that
comprises of the lowest child sex ratio in our country. The campaign shall be initially
implemented within 100 districts that include 12 districts in Haryana and
throughout the country where the sex ratio is poor. It cannot be denied that such a
discrimination against girl child, shall not only harm the mindset and balance of the
present generation, but at the same time, it will have terrible impact on the coming
generations. The doctors are urged to shun female foeticide.
According to PM Modis statements made in a speech during the launch of beti
bachao beti padhao Yojana, there are some associated problems in our society,
for instance, people are more concerned about the marriage expenses, dowry, and
discriminations in upbringing of a girl. These issues need to be eradicated so that
individuals including parents become much more responsible regarding the duties in
the upbringing of a girl. The issues need to be dealt in such a way that future
parents are encouraged in a positive way.
Sukanya Samriddhi scheme is a phenomenal step by the government of India and it
was launched on 22nd January, 2015. It is a part of Indias Beti Bachao- Beti
Padhao initiative. It is a small savings scheme. The scheme can be opened by the
parents of a girl or a legal guardian of her in any post office or in some of the
authorized commercial banks.
India was ranked 41st among 195 countries worldwide by the UNICEF in 2012 thats
why the scheme for girls was very necessary to aware people about the safety of
women all over India. This scheme also make a call to people to eradicate female
foeticide.
