PROHIBITION of sex determination and strict enforcement notwithstanding, the sex ratio at birth in Odisha has recorded a worrying decline over the past decade.

- HEMANT KUMAR ROUT

As per the Civil Registration System (CRS) report released by the Ministry of Home Affairs recently, the sex ratio at birth in the state stood at 933 women per 1,000 men. The ratio has significantly dropped from 979 recorded during 2011-12.

Odisha is among the bottom-10 states with low sex ratio. The lowest 863 was recorded in Assam, 905 in Rajasthan, 908 in Bihar, 909 in Gujarat, 910 in Maharashtra, 911 in Haryana and 922 in Telangana.
