PM Modi hails 'Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao' as a decade-long people-powered movement

On the 10th anniversary of the "Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao" movement, Prime Minister Narendra Modi highlighted its transformative impact on promoting gender equality and empowering girls across India.

Reflecting on the decade-long journey, PM Modi emphasized how the initiative has united people from diverse backgrounds to address critical issues facing the girl child.

“Today we mark 10 years of the Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao movement. Over the past decade, it has become a transformative, people-powered initiative and has drawn participation from people across all walks of life,” he shared on X.

The Prime Minister acknowledged the initiative’s success in tackling gender bias and improving access to education and opportunities for girls.

“Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao has been instrumental in overcoming gender biases, and at the same time it has created the right environment to ensure that the girl child has access to education and opportunities to achieve her dreams,” he added.

Expressing gratitude to individuals and organizations for their commitment to the cause, PM Modi noted significant progress in areas with historically low child sex ratios. He credited awareness campaigns and grassroots efforts for fostering a deeper understanding of gender equality.

“Thanks to the dedicated efforts of the people and various community service organisations, #BetiBachaoBetiPadhao has achieved remarkable milestones. Districts with historically low child sex ratios have reported significant improvements and awareness campaigns have instilled a deeper sense of the importance of gender equality,” he said.

Reiterating the need for continued efforts, PM Modi urged everyone to work towards a society where girls can thrive free from discrimination.

“I compliment all stakeholders who have made this movement vibrant at the grassroots level. Let us continue to protect the rights of our daughters, ensure their education and create a society where they can thrive without any discrimination. Together, we can ensure that the coming years bring even greater progress and opportunity for India’s daughters,” he concluded.

Launched on January 22, 2015, in Panipat, Haryana, the Beti Bachao Beti Padhao scheme has become one of the government’s most impactful social initiatives. It addresses declining child sex ratios, prevents gender-biased practices, and promotes the education and empowerment of girls.

Over the past decade, the program has significantly improved the Sex Ratio at Birth, enhanced girls' access to education, expanded healthcare, and bolstered women’s economic participation. By collaborating with government agencies, NGOs, and communities, the initiative has laid a strong foundation for valuing and protecting every girl child.

As the scheme enters its second decade, the focus will shift towards creating long-term change through inclusive policies, improved implementation, and active community engagement to ensure sustained progress toward gender equality and empowerment.
