    Ministry of Women and Child Development

    Government of India
    Beti Bachao Beti Padhao

    The Census (2011) data showed a significant declining trend in the Child Sex Ratio (CSR),
    calculated as number of girls for every 1000 boys between age group of 0-6 years, with an all
    time low of 918 in 2011 from 976 in 1961. The decline in CSR has been unabated since 1961. This
    is an alarming indicator for women disempowerment. It reflects both pre birth discrimination
    manifested through gender biased sex selection, and post birth discrimination against girls. The
    decline is widespread across the country and has expanded to rural as well as tribal areas.

    2. Alarmed by the sharp decline, the Government of India has introduced Beti Bachao, Beti
    Padhao (BBBP) programme to address the issue of decline in CSR in 100 gender critical
    districts. Coordinated & convergent efforts are needed to ensure survival, protection and
    education of the girl child.

    Child & Enable her Education . The objectives of the Scheme are as under :-
    Prevent gender biased sex selective elimination

    Ensure education of the girl child

    4. The Beti Bachao Beti Padhao (BBBP) initiative has two major components. i) Mass
