Daughter, the word echoes sentiment of care and concern, adore and affection, warmth and worship... and all the emotions that portrays a bonding of a lifetime and is unrivaled to any other closeness saga.. A relationship that is to the core altruistic...
As said in English...
A son is a son, till he gets his wife
And,
A daughter is a daughter, for all your life...
The Indian culture projects,
The daughter as someone, who is the savior of two families...
The one she is borne into and where she leaves her footprints of innocence and vulnerability and keeps the household animated with her mesmerizing presence.
And,
When she marries and leaves the household of her parents, she carries with her the devotion and dedication, the commitment to bring about rays of happiness in her in-laws home and serves endlessly to see a smile on her new relatives.
Today, as the world celebrates Daughters Day...
I, bow in exaltation to all the lovely daughters of the world, who have lit up lives of you and me and all the proud parents of a girl child..
It has been an irony that with the advancement in Medical Science, the new invention of testing the fetus’s sex, in the primary pregnancy has become inevitable nuisance. The eradication of female fetus is one of the biggest blot on our society and cultural heritage. According to the national aggregate of projecting the ratio of male and female, considering the age group of 0-6 years, it was 927:1000. In comparison, Gujarat projected the ratio of 883:1000. Thus, Gujarat Govt. took up to bring about this ratio to minimum in 2001.
The advent of Rurban Economy in Gujarat, has formulated numerous Ultra Sound Sonography Clinics in every nook and corner of the state. The ill effect of otherwise progressive availability is killing of female fetus. Thus, the problem of aborting girl child is much more severe in rural and urban areas than among tribals.
The daughters have been very close to Shri Narendra Modiji’s t heart. He has been instrumental in fulfilling every dreams cherished by daughters of Gujarat. Thus, to act on them being born, without being humiliated on the basis of their sex, has been a subject very near and dear to him. He took up to eliminate this unlawful discrimination suffered by female child.
And,
Thus, Gujarat Govt. started ‘Beti Bachao’ Abhiyan. By 2010, they have been able to achieve the ratio near to 1:1 in the age group of 0-6.
Following steps have been taken for smooth operation of this movement...
1. The Gujarat Govt. spent Rs. 2800 crores for IMR IN 2007-08 to present different scholarships to female child.
2. Conducted various sting operations on laboratories as well as medical institutions, uninformed and took up strict actions against involved.
3. Conducting Sex-Determination test has to undergo austere standards and really necessary cases are given allowance to conduct such.
4. All the doctors practicing in the state have to proclaim that the abortions conducted by them did not carry the female fetus.
5. All the ministers to M.L.A.’s to M.P.’s have to conduct programmes expressing the importance of girl child and bring about change in the thinking of commoners regarding the same.
6. To initiate programmes and cultural activities to present and create awareness regarding humiliation faced by a daughter, even before she enters this world.
7. To commence female courts for imparting justice.
8. To train the widows to be able to lead a life of honor and respect.
9. To initiate permission of mother’s name while entering the child in the school.
10. To provide number of incentives to daughters to be educated and at par with male child.
Gujarat Govt. has abducted about 144 ultra sound sonography units under PNDT rules. About 79 court cases are in progress against culprits.
