Odisha govt to follow Kerala model in bridging sex gap
The Morning Standard
|April 20, 2025
EXPRESSING concern over the skewed sex ratio in the state affecting gender equality and social stability, Chief Minister Mohan Majhi on Saturday called for creating massive public awareness to address the societal biases for male children.
Addressing the state-level Poshan Paksh 2025 event at the State Institute for Women and Children (SIWC) in the state capital, Majhi said the need of the hour is to address the underlying societal attitudes and beliefs that contribute to preference for sons.
"Gender bias against girl children is still deeply rooted. Sons are preferred over daughters and what is surprising is that mothers prefer a male child over girl," he said.
