## ANSWER

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

- (a) Beti  Bachao  Beti  Padhao  Campaign  (BBBP)  was  launched  by  Prime  Minister  on  22 nd January, 2015 at Panipat, Haryana. BBBP addresses the declining Child Sex Ratio (CSR) and  related  issues  of  women  empowerment  over  a  life-cycle  continuum.  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 in selected 161 districts  at  present  (list  of  161  districts  is  attached  at Annexure-I). The  multisectoral action includes strict enforcement of pre-Conception & Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques (PC&PNDT)  Act,  Pre-Natal/ Post Natal care of mother, enrolment in schools, construction of girls toilets, community engagement and training etc.

(b)  A  statement  regarding  funds  allotted/released  under  BBBP  campaign  since  2014-15  is annexed at Annexure-II .

(c) Under BBBP scheme, no such proposal is under consideration.

(d) No money from Nirbhaya Fund has been sanctioned for BBBP Scheme.

- (e) & (f) 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 Child Sex Ratio in the country. Since the scheme is received well in the 100 districts, the scope of the scheme has been further extended to 61 new districts. The overall objective of the Scheme is to improve declining  Child  Sex  Ratio  in  the  country  and  create  an  enabling  environment  for  the education  of  girl  child,  which  requires  long-term  attitudinal  change.  The  Scheme  is  at  a nascent  stage  of  implementation  and  it's  too  early  to  assess  its  impact  at  this  stage. However, scheme has been received well and in the last two years, several local innovative interventions  have  been  demonstrated  by  the  districts  with  support  from  Departments  of WCD, Health & Education.  There is a strong emphasis on mindset change through training, sensitization, awareness raising and community mobilization on ground.
