NEW DELHI, Jan 22: The Beti Bachao Beti Padhao movement has made a lasting impression on people resulting in 16 points improvement in sex ratio at birth, Women and Child Development Minister Smriti Irani said on Friday.
She said that while the increase in sex ratio at birth and enrolment ratio of girls in school at the secondary level is encouraging, the government continues to strive towards making further improvement through BBBP along with health and education ministries and the citizens of the country.
“In 2015, PM @narendramodi Ji launched ‘Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao’ (BBBP) program aimed at bringing behavioural change in society towards the birth and rights of a girl child.

She says the State government’s intention towards women security is suspect
Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Wednesday targeted the Yogi Adityanath government in Uttar Pradesh over the gangrape and murder of a 50-year-old woman in Badaun. She said “the Uttar Pradesh government’s intention towards women security is suspect.”
“In Hathras, the government administration did not listen to the pleadings. The government protected officials and suppressed the victim’s voice. In Badaun, the police officer neither listened to the pleadings nor did he examine the place of the incident. The U.P. government’s intention on women’s security is flawed,” Ms. Vadra tweeted.
