Haryana Intensifies Beti Bachao Beti Padhao Drive After Sex Ratio Edges Up to 906

Authorities are tightening abortion controls alongside community outreach efforts to capitalize on a slight rise in the sex ratio.

Sources say that there is a growing impression among the authorities that a section of the people not registering births in some districts is apparently one of the factors behind the dip in SRB of Haryana. (HT File)

Overview

  • The child sex ratio in Haryana climbed to 906 girls per 1,000 boys in the first half of 2025, up from 904 during the same period last year.
  • Statewide awareness rallies now feature district‐specific sex ratio banners to engage communities in valuing the girl child.
  • Officials have been directed to revoke medical termination of pregnancy licences for practitioners involved in illegal abortions, with a Hisar hospital recently penalized.
  • Birth registration camps are targeting economically disadvantaged areas, supported by anganwadi workers compiling lists of unregistered children for official records.
  • Enhanced surveillance of community health centres and coordination with Delhi, Punjab and Rajasthan aim to curb cross-border sex-selective practices.
