Save Girl Child Speech 3

"Good morning to the respected teachers and my dear colleagues. As we all have gathered here to celebrate this occasion, I would like to speech on the topic of save girl child. I would like to speech on this topic to spread awareness about the importance of girl child in our lives. In order to remove the practice of cruelty against girl child in the Indian society, the Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi has launched a campaign called “Beti Bachao – Beti Padhao”. It is a campaign to spread awareness towards saving and educating the girl child in our home and society. Decreasing sex ratio of the girl child in our country is putting a big challenge in front of us for the future. Life possibility on the earth is because of both male and female however what will happen if the number of one sex is continuously decreasing.

It is very clear that without daughters we have no future. Indian Union Minister Smt. Maneka Gandhi has well said that “Any society with a fewer no. of girls ended up limited and aggressive because love decreased in such a society” at the work-shop organized at Panipat. The main objectives of the campaign of “Beti Bachao – Beti Padhao” is to save girl child and educate them in order to finish the root of violence against them in the society. Girls are generally being deprived of their normal and basic facilities (such as proper nutrition, education, living style, etc) in their family because of the superiority of boy baby. In the Indian society boys are given higher importance than that of girls in terms of nutrition and education. They are generally assigned to do household chores and satisfy other family members whole day against their wish. There is a famous slogan that “If you educate your daughter, you educate two families”. It is very true because educating a man is only educate a person whereas educating a women is educating whole family.

In order to make it a successful campaign, government has promised to give various types of incentives to the villagers after showing involvement in the saving and educating girls. It is to ensure the permanent removal of evils in the society like female foeticide, dowry deaths, sexual exploitation, etc. Female foeticide in India took the air because of the occurrence of gender-selective abortions technology which led to the clear and sharp drop in the ratio of girls child. This technique came in forth

as a worsening problem after the release of 2001 national census as it shown a huge reduction in the female population in some Indian states. It was continues in the results of 2011 national census especially in the prosperous regions of India.

Increasing rate of female foeticide in the Madhya Pradesh was very clear in the census results (932 girls/1000 boys in 2001 whereas 912 girls/1000 boys in 2011 and it is expecting to be only 900/1000 by 2021). Save girl child campaign will be successful only when it is supported by each and every Indian citizen.

Thank You
