## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF WOMEN AND CHILD DEVELOPMENT (SHRIMATI KRISHNA RAJ)

- (a): Beti Bachao Beti Padhao Campaign (BBBP)  launched by Hon' Prime Minister on 22 nd January, 2015  addresses the declining Child Sex Ratio (CSR) and related issues of women empowerment and  aims  to  change  mindsets  to  value  girl  child.  It  is  a  tri-ministerial  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  in  selected  161  districts  at  present  (a  list  of  161  districts  with  Child  Sex Ratio  (CSR)  State/UT-wise  is  attached  at Annexure-I). Multi-sectoral  action  includes  tighter enforcement of pre-Conception & Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques (PC&PNDT) Act, Pre-Natal/ Post  Natal  care  of  mother,  improve  enrolment  of  girls  in  schools,  construction  of  girls  toilets, community engagement/ training etc.
- (b):   A statement regarding funds allotted/released under BBBP campaign during the last three years and current year is annexed at Annexure-II .
- (c): The Multi-sectoral interventions and Media campaign and advocacy of BBBP has been envisaged for greater coverage/reach in the country.
- (d) & (e): Improving declining Child Sex Ratio and create an enabling environment for the education of girl child is a long-term challenge. CSR is a part of the Decadal census exercise. The Scheme is at a nascent stage of implementation and it's a little  too early to assess its impact at this stage. There  are  indications  of  initial  encouraging  trends.  BBBP  is  already  capturing  collective consciousness  in  the  Country.  The  scheme  has  been  well  received  and  in  the  last  two  years, several local innovative interventions have been demonstrated by the districts and States/UTs with support from Departments of WCD, Health & Education.  Besides Media and advocacy is actively carried out.
