## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF WOMEN AND CHILD DEVELOPMENT (SHRIMATI MANEKA SANJAY GANDHI)

(a)    Beti  Bachao  Beti  Padhao  (BBBP)  was  launched  by  Prime  Minister  on  22nd  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 tri-ministerial effort of Ministries of Women and Child Development, Health & Family Welfare and Human Resource Development.  The key elements of the scheme include Enforcement of PC&PNDT Act; Nation-wide awareness and advocacy campaign and multi-sectoral action envisaged in select 100 districts in the first phase.   The criteria for selection of 100 districts under the Beti Bachao Beti Padhao scheme are as under:-

-  87  Districts  have  been  selected  from  23  States/UTs  having  Child  Sex  Ratio  below  the National average of 918.
-  8  Districts    have  been  selected  from  8  States/UTs  having  Child  Sex  Ratio  above  National average of 918 but showing declining trend.
-  5  Districts  have  been  selected  from  5  States/UTs  having  Child  Sex  Ratio  above  National average of 918 and showing improving trend so that other parts of country can learn from them.

The list of 100 districts envisaged under BBBP is enclosed at Annex-I.

(b)  The total project cost of the Scheme for Beti Bachao Beti Padhao for the remaining part of the 12 th Five year Plan (2 & ½ years ) is Rs. 276.00 crore with 100% Central Assistance. An amount of Rs. 36.48 crore was released during the Financial Year 2014-15 and an amount of Rs. 63.65 crore was released during the Financial Year 2015-16 to Ministry of Information and Broadcasting and State/UTs

.

The details  of  fund  released  to  State/UTs  during  the  Financial  Year  2014-15  and    2015-16  are enclosed at Annex II .

(d)   Since 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, this requires long-term attitudinal change. The Scheme is at a nascent stage of implementation and its too early to assess its impact at this stage. However, scheme has been received well and in the last one year, several local innovative interventions have been demonstrated by the districts with support from Departments of WCD, Health & Education.

(c), (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. A list of additional  61 districts is attached at Annexure III
