Haryana's child sex ratio improves to 889 girls per 1,000 boys:-Beti Bachao Beti Padhao:

By
  • According to the 2014 census, the child sex ratio of Haryana was 846 girls per 1,000 boys.
  • Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Thursday said that with efforts made by the state government and effective implementation of the 'Beti Bachao Beti Padhao' (BBBP) programme, the child sex ratio in the state has improved to 889 girls per 1,000 boys.
  • "Efforts are being made to further take it (child sex ratio) to above 900,"
  • he said, while flagging off the 'Sashakt Beti Sashakt Bharat' awareness march organised by the India Media Centre, Haryana.
  • About 150 girl students from 18 districts of Haryana are participating in the awareness march being organised to generate knowledge among the people regarding women's empowerment.
  • The awareness march would pass through 23 places in twelve districts before culminating at Raj Ghat in New Delhi, on January 14.
  • The Chief Minister said that since 2005, the sex ratio in Haryana had been on the decline, creating a lot of imbalance in the society.
  • He said that the state government was committed to eradicating crime from the society.
  • An atmosphere has been created in the state against the heinous act of female foeticide, he said.
  • The Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques (PNDT) Act is being strictly implemented and those found involved in female foeticide have been put behind bars after registering cases against them, he said.
  • With a view to empowering women, separate women's police stations have been set up in all districts to enable women victims to lodge complaints without any fear, he said.
  • However, much more needs to be done in this direction, he added.

HRD minister proves her generosity and genuine concern towards education and real talent

By
Dharamraj works for a Surat mill and hardly manages to fend for his family of seven. When sons - Raju, 18, and Brijesh, 19, broke the news of their stellar performance to their dad, he didn't even know why it was such a big deal. Both his sons have cracked the IIT entrance test — Raju securing rank 167 and Brijesh 410. Dharamraj, a daily-wage earner, desperately needs Rs 1 lakh for their admission fees. But that's an astronomical sum, for he barely makes ends meet. Dharamraj and his family live in a rundown mud hut with a tarpaulin thatch at Rehua Lalganj village.

HRD Minister Mrs. Smriti Irani has assured the IIT 2015 topper that his ent...
