## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF WOMEN AND CHILD DEVELOPMENT (SHRIMATI SMRITI ZUBIN IRANI)

(a)   Beti Bachao Beti Padhao (BBBP) scheme was launched on 22nd January, 2015 as a tri-ministerial effort of the Ministry of Women & Child Development, Ministry of Education and Ministry of Health and Family Welfare to prevent Gender biased sex selective elimination, to ensure survival and protection of girl child and also to ensure education of the girl child.

The Scheme has stirred up collective consciousness towards changing the mindset of the public to acknowledge the value and rights of the girl child. As per the Health Management  Information  System  (HMIS),  data  of  Ministry  of  Health  and  Family Welfare, Sex Ratio at Birth (SRB) at National level has improved from 918 (2014-15) to 934 (2021-22).

The scheme has been expanded to cover all the districts of the country through Multi Sectoral Intervention. The funds are being routed through State Single Nodal Agency account for multi-sectoral interventions at district level.

Now, the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship and Ministry of Minority Affairs have also been added as partners with a view to undertake special drive and awareness programme for promoting higher education and skill development among girls.

An operational Manual has also been developed which inter alia includes an activity calendar which will felicitate all the districts for organising year round activities to cover all aspects of holistic development of the girl child and achieve the objectives of Beti Bachao Beti Padhao.

The Government has taken various intitiatives under BBBP which includes, a special campaign namely Kanya Shiksha Pravesh Utsav launched on 07th March, 2022 to reenroll out of school adolescent girls (OoS AG) in the age group of 11-14 years.

Also, a National Conference for skilling of Girls in Non-Traditional Livelihoods (Betiyan Bane Kushal) was organised on 11th October, 2022, on the occasion of International Day of Girl Child. During the conference, a factsheet inter-alia defining the term 'nontraditional livelihood' was shared with the participants. Non-Traditional Livelihoods for girls means those livelihood practices that do not adhere to past practices or conform to traditional role plays. They help women to break the barriers that confine her within the gendered stereotypes of a typically masculinized and feminized role.

(b)  The details of fund released  for the schemes under mission 'Beti Bachao Beti Padhao' during each of the last three years is at Annexure.
