The girl child today faces inequality and gender based discriminations even before birth. The nation cannot move forward unless women are given opportunity to realize their full potential and contribute to nation building.

Given this context, please share your thoughts, ideas, suggestions and feedback on how we can change the discriminatory social construct in order to celebrate the girl child. What should be our communication strategy for improving the situation and reach out to people?

Girls securing marks more than 70 or 80 % should be awarded to motivate them *there should be a minimum criteria upto 70% so that it will be possible to average student

Start developing multi standard schools and colleges in rural parts so that any one can think to take education as it will be close enough to them and there will be low risk to girls if there school or college is nearer from their place

i want to highlight the issue of rape of shool girls, as young as 3-4 years of age. Can the HRD take some measures? Can a law stating only female staff be employed for primary schools solve the issue? Not sure of the solution, but can the ministry take up this security issue seriously please.

Sir, Main sirf itna kahna chahuga agar logo ke passkam hoga to wo bachhi ki shadi ki tenssion nahi rakhege n or wo apni beti ko padai keliye bhi kuchh na kuchh karege. Hamari gareebe hi hamari sabhi samsayao ka karan h. Ye agar mitjayegi to sab theek ho jayega dheere dheere.

Sir this discrimination is already fading, pl understand the worry of parents of girl child. Only worry is the marriage . Sir u r to remove this worry only. Sir, this can b done only by simple law, ie, guest control order. I mean , only 21 people should b allowed in marriage . I assure sir, 95 % people of this country will love this step n girl child will not b a liability. Sir yourself fm poor background can understand this v well.

dear PM, i am in great regret to say that our country has slipped to last quarter of result in gender inequality. many of us are blaming it to masculine culture in country and rightly so, but today i want to share some thing which might be new to you all. in my short life span i have came across several women educated and got job in the good company are ruining their life on the cover of family value. i agree that family is important but not on the sack of self pride of women.please docomment

Onlyway forward is to change the mentality of the people, deconstruct the social construct. Institutes that have traditionally been seen as the proponent of outdated ideologies like khap panchayyats, local village panchayats, pandits and ulemas at village level should be encouraged and targeted to bring about change in thinking. Starting mass campaign as was done during polio vaccination drive could help. When local leaders come to understand the importance of girls, the society will transform.
