Haryana Expands Beti Bachao-Beti Padhao With IVF Monitoring and Transgender-Led Celebrations as Sex Ratio Hits 907

Stricter oversight of IVF centres under antenatal care rules seeks to curb sex selection with transgender-led birth celebrations.

Overview

  • Haryana’s child sex ratio reached 907 girls per 1,000 boys by the end of July 2025, up from 899 during the same period last year.
  • In July alone, 32 FIRs were registered over suspected illegal abortions, leading to 32 arrests, with four additional cases under process and 38 notices issued to private clinics.
  • Officials have mandated that all IVF implantations be registered under ANC guidelines and ordered crackdowns on centres conducting sex-determination tests.
  • The health department has enlisted the transgender community to visit families of newborn girls and present a ₹21,000 LIC certificate under the Aapki Beti Hamari Beti scheme.
  • Authorities are awaiting a progress report on July’s FIR investigations next week and are finalizing a statewide Beti Bachao-Beti Padhao cinema advertisement to boost awareness.
