Goddesses such as Laksmi, Durga, and Saraswati are worshiped in this country; however, when it comes to the girl child, she does not get a conducive environment to grow or develop her full potential.
Chappar, a tiny village in Haryana, is just like any other small settlement found across North India. However, it established its difference when the people there began celebrating the birth of a girl child.
Haryana is known for the lowest girl ratio in India, but with Chappar paving the path for the rest of the state: things are beginning to change. The villagers in Chappar distribute sweets whenever a girl child is born and welcomes the newborn with love and utmost respect. While Chappar is leading by example, a lot needs to be done to save the girl child.
India, sadly, is one of the countries that is known for female infanticide and cruelty against the girl child. From early marriage to malnutrition to trafficking, the girl child is a victim of an array of crimes.
A commentary published on Insights on India mentions the following:
“Disparity between girls and boys, between girls and boys belonging to various castes and classes, disparity between girls and boys belonging to different regions of the country must be taken into account for giving girl children their due position in India.”
While the nation faces several issues regarding the adverse atmosphere presented to the girl child, the Modi-led government has launched several commendable programs to safeguard the girl child. From Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao to Balika Samriddhi Yojna to the Ladli Scheme, the Government of India is forthcoming when it comes to the daughters of the nation.
