Answer:
It is the 21st century and it goes without saying that equal rights should be given to both men and women in our society.
Given the difference in sex ratio in the country, we can argue that gender equality has not been achieved in India so far.
In many parts of the country, the gender of the baby is known before the delivery and hence parents decide to abort or kill the girl child.
In socially and culturally backward societies, people tend to perceive girl child as a burden to take care of.
There are wrong assumptions and believes that it is the son who takes care of the family and not their daughter and hence female infanticide is
high in backward areas of our country.
Government of India has conducted various programs that are implemented to promote save girl child campaign.
Prime Minister of India Mr Narendra Damodardas Modi launched Beti Bachao Beti Padhao campaign in Indi in the year 2015 with initial funding of Rs. 100 crore for the campaign
Along with Central Government, state governments are doing their part to reduce female infanticide rate and save girl child.
An educational awareness campaign should be conducted both in urban and rural areas of the country to educate people about gender equality.
