Nearly half of India’s children are girls. However, the girl child is considered a lesser
child in our society. Irrespective of class, caste and economic conditions, she is
discriminated against and neglected at all the levels. This result in the denial of basic
services required for her survival, welfare and development. The girl child is perceived
as a burden to be passed on to another family. Her contribution in the household economy
is not acknowledged. Various factors contribute towards the increase of offences/crime
against women, including dowry deaths, rape, and eve-teasing, etc. The girl child has to
be brought up with utmost care and regard by instilling in her the sense of pride and
responsibility of nurturing the future generation. Faster development can only be possible
by the human resources development. Therefore, our ultimate aim should be improving the
lot of the girl child. I sincerely believe that those who do not respect the girl child
actually do not respect their own mother and their own sister. I deeply wish that girl
child in India be treated equally with the male child. Educate the girl child. She is
special, she will be a mother, and she will be a wife like your mother or your wife or
your sister appeals to you not to discriminate against the girl child in our country, let
us make a promise to educate the girl child, save them from discrimination!!!
