IN 2024, HARYANA RECORDED ITS LOWEST SEX RATIO AT BIRTH IN EIGHT YEARS

- HT Correspondent

CHANDIGARH: Haryana chief minister (CM) Nayab Singh Saini on Wednesday reviewed the flagship "Beti Bachao-Beti Padhao" campaign and warned of "strict action" against those "conducting or facilitating" sex identification tests.

The chief minister emphasized that the health as well as women and child development departments should collaborate and work swiftly in curbing the practice of gender determination, a government spokesperson said. It may be recalled that Haryana recorded its lowest sex ratio at birth (SRB) in eight years in 2024 after Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the nationwide "Beti Bachao-Beti Padhao" programme from Panipat on January 22, 2015, to address the issues related to gender discrimination.
