Awareness rally to save girl child flagged off

Rajouri, Dec 26: Deputy Commissioner Rajouri Vikas Kundal today flagged off a mega rally of students, fervently championing the cause of gender equality and saving girl child through the Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao (BBBP) scheme. The rally aimed to raise awareness about the challenges faced by the girl child and underscore the significance of education in fostering a more equitable society.

The BBBP scheme, aptly translating to 'Save the girl child, educate the girl child,' stands as a testament to the commitment of the Indian Government to addressing gender discrimination and advancing women's empowerment across the nation. Deputy Commissioner highlighted the pivotal role in dismantling stereotypes and promoting a culture of inclusivity.

The DC emphasised the multifaceted objectives of the BBBP scheme, which extend beyond education to challenge ingrained gender biases. The scheme seeks to catalyze a societal shift by fostering awareness about the inherent value of the girl child and promoting gender-neutral opportunities for growth and development.

Furthermore, the Deputy Commissioner drew attention to the comprehensive approach of the scheme in improving the efficacy of welfare services for girls. By creating a supportive environment and dismantling systemic barriers, the BBBP initiative strives to ensure that every girl has access to education, healthcare, and opportunities for a brighter future.
