To Mark International Girl Child Day Smt Maneka Sanjay Gandhi Appeals To Fight The Social Biases Against the Girl Child
In a Message , Smt. Maneka Sanjay Gandhi, Minister of Women & Child Development Greeted to all on the occasion of International Girl Child Day
Smt Maneka Says” My special wishes to our girls, who are our precious resource and the nation-builders of tomorrow.
Each year, all over the world 11th October is celebrated as International Girl Child Day. We in India observe, in addition, 24th January as the National Girl Child Day. These days are occasions to celebrate the Girl Child, and to rededicate ourselves to providing her more opportunity and a better future.”
Minister Further Adds” Our girls have done us proud in classrooms, in the sports field and later in many diverse fields. They have broken barriers and proved their worth in every sphere, even in the Voyage to Mars with the Mangalyaan initiative”.
While regretting the sex selective elimination she says “Today, we are proud that we are one of the fastest growing economies in the world. But the paradox remains that the girl child is denied the right to be born. It is a matter of great concern that gender biased sex selective elimination is continuing in many parts of our country. This is a violation of human rights and of the right to life guaranteed under our Constitution”
