Beti Bachao Beti Padhao dividend for Viksit Bharat

Hindustan Times West UP

|

January 22, 2025

As India marches confidently towards becoming Viksit Bharat by 2047, the transformative impact of the Beti Bachao Beti Padhao (BBBP) programme is a testament to how far we have come in our transition from a focus on women's development to women-led development.

- Annapurna Devi

Swami Vivekananda once said, "There is no chance for the welfare of the world unless the condition of women is improved. It is not possible for a bird to fly on only one wing." Inspired by this timeless vision, Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi launched BBBP on January 22, 2015, in Panipat, Haryana. This landmark initiative sought to address the declining child sex ratio (CSR) in India and ensure that girls and women across the nation have the opportunities, care, and dignity they deserve.

The 2011 Census revealed a deeply concerning sex ratio at birth (SRB) of 918, a stark reflection of societal biases and the misuse of diagnostic tools. Through targeted, life-cycle-focused interventions, BBBP not only reversed this trend but also laid the foundation for a future where women will lead and thrive.
