Sir,
This has reference has to the National Girl Child Day that was observed recently throughout the length and breadth of the country.
Even after sustained efforts made by the NGOs, social and women’s organisations and incentives extended by the State and Central Governments nothing has changed for the girl child.
She is still discriminated by the society. The skewed sex ratio in most of the states including Jammu and Kashmir bear testimony to the fact that much more needs to be done to give the child her due position in the society.
Time has proved it that the girl child does not lag behind the male child in any field – education, science, agriculture etc. She shoulders her responsibility with more responsibility, sincerity and with efficiency. She contributes to the nation building process equally as does the male child.
It is the time that we change our outlook towards her. She should be accorded a dignified and equal place in the society.
The equality will not create any imbalance in the society as is predicted by social scientists in case situation does not improve right now.
Yours etc…
