Answer:
The country’s sex ratio at birth, which is the number of females born per 1,000 males, is showing a worrying decline, according to a Sample Registration System (SRS) survey. The figure stood at 896 for 2015-17, down from 898 in 2014-16 and 900 in 2013-15. Of the top 22 states for which data is available, 14 had a sex ratio better than the all-India average, while eight, including Delhi, had an inferior number. With a sex ratio of 833, Haryana continues to carry the ignominy of being the most unfair to the girl child among the surveyed states.
