National Girl Child Day

“Smiling face of every little girl is the signature of God’s presence.”

The initiative was started by the Ministry of Women and Child Development in 2008. The objective of celebrating the day is to highlight the inequalities faced by girls in the country, promote awareness about the rights of a girl child and generate awareness on the importance of girl education, health and nutrition.

The Indian government has taken several steps over the years to change this and improve the conditions of girls. Several campaigns and programs such as Save the Girl Child, Beti Bachao Beti Padhao, free or subsidised education for the girl children, reservations for women in colleges and universities have been initiated to reduce this discrimination.

To support the day whole heartedly, the students of classes I to V took part in some activities to spread the message in the society to respect every female on 24^th January 2021.   They made cards, posters and spoke against gender discrimination and requested everyone to recognize the rights of girls and also the problems they face around the globe, to give them a better life, a better future.
