It  is  a  triministerial  effort  of  Ministries  of  Women  and  Child  Development,  Health  &  Family Welfare  and  Human  Resource  Development.  The  key  elements  of  the  scheme  include nation-wide  awareness  and  advocacy  campaign  and  multi-  sectoral  action,  initially  in selected 100 districts (low on CSR) and got expanded to 61 additional districts in 201516.     Considering  the  encouraging  results  of  implementation  in  161  districts  the Government of India has expanded the BBBP Scheme in all 640 districts (as per census 2011) of the Country on 8th March, 2018. The 405 districts are covered through Multi sectoral intervention, Media & Advocay and 235 districts covered through alert Media & Advocacy outreach. Multi-sectoral action includes effective enforcement of preConception & Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques (PC&PNDT) Act, Pre-Natal/ Post Natal

- (b) to (e):  BBBP aims to address the issues of declining Child Sex Ratio (CSR) and enabling Girl Child education.  Towards this purpose, multi-sectoral interventions are carried out in  selected  BBBP  districts.  Apart  from  this,  an  awareness  campaign  is  carried  out  for creating awareness and visibility about the criticality of the issue of declining CSR in the country.

This Ministry has not made any impact assessment of the scheme, however as per the latest reports of Health Management Information System (HMIS) data of  Ministry  of  Health  and  Family  Welfare,  161  districts  selected  under  BBBP  indicate improving trend in Sex Ratio at Birth (SRB) and 1 district stable trend during the period 2015-16 and 2016-17.
