National Girl Child Day
Discrimination based on gender is a big issue that females experience throughout their lives all across the country. Every year on January 24, India commemorates National Girl Child Day to raise awareness about a girl child’s rights and the necessity of her education, health, and nutrition. The day correlates with government efforts and programs like Beti Bachao Beti Padhao, women’s reservations in colleges and universities, free/subsidised education, and Save the Girl Child.
History of the National Girl Child Day
The Ministry of Women and Child Development initiated the National Girl Child Day in the year of 2008, with the major goal to promote awareness and address disparities that girls encounter in the country, as well as to educate everyone about a girl child’s rights.
