‘Beti Bachao Beti Padhao’ gives new dimension to rights, respect of daughters: Amit Shah

NEW DELHI: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday hailed the completion of 10 years of the ‘Beti Bachao Beti Padhao’ (BBBP) programme launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying it gave a new dimension to the rights, education and respect of daughters.

BBBP was launched by the prime minister on January 22, 2015 at Panipat in Haryana. It addresses the declining Child Sex Ratio (CSR) and related issues of women empowerment over a life-cycle continuum.
