Friends,

Today is 24th January and we are celebrating National Girl Child Day.

In 2008, National Girl Child Day was established by the Ministry of Women and Child Development.

The purpose of the day is to raise awareness of the injustices that girls experience in Indian society.

• The main aim of the day is to raise awareness of the disparities that girls face in a variety of areas, including education, employment, clothing, and others.

• This day also encourages awareness of women’s rights in our country.

It is the fact in India, gender inequality is one of the major issues that is needed to be focused on and it exists in several areas including legal rights, education, medical care, marriage, etc.

• Female foeticide is another major issue that further affects the demographic problems in India.

• A nation becomes stronger and more prosperous. When girls are educated and given the equal opportunity,

• The national holiday is observed nationwide by holding a variety of events to honor girls.

• “The world needs strong women. Women who will lift and build others, who will love and be loved. Women who live bravely, both tender and fierce. Women of indomitable will.” -Amy Tenny

No doubt, the step of the Government of India to celebrate National Girl Child Day is an improvement mission for young girls and also a promotion of the significance of girls as a child.
