‘Beti Bachao Beti Padhao’ is an example of an awareness campaign led by the government which aims to generate awareness and improve the welfare services intended for girls in the country.
Initiated by the Ministry of Women and Child Development, back in 2008, the National Girl Child Day in India is celebrated on January 24. The day aims to raise awareness about the inequalities, discrimination, exploitation faced by the girls in society and also highlights the importance of education, health, and nutrition. On this day, several state governments organise awareness programs to make the girl child aware of their rights and provide them with opportunities to shine.
‘Beti Bachao Beti Padhao (Save the girl, educate the girl)’ is an example of an awareness campaign led by the government which aims to generate awareness and improve the welfare services intended for girls in the country. Though several steps have been taken in the same direction, a lot is yet to be done.
