10th Anniversary of Beti Bachao Beti Padhao Scheme

  • 22 Jan 2025

The Ministry of Women and Child Development is set to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Beti Bachao Beti Padhao (BBBP) scheme from January 22 to March 8, 2025, culminating on International Women’s Day.

Key Points

  • Achievements: The scheme improved the national Sex Ratio at Birth from 918 (2014-15) to 930 (2023-24), raised the gross enrolment ratio of girls at the secondary level from 75.51% to 78%, and increased institutional deliveries to 97.3%.
  • Nationwide Impact: Initiatives like the Kanya Shiksha Pravesh Utsav re-enrolled over 100,000 out-of-school girls. Campaigns through media and plantation drives will amplify the scheme’s message.
  • Vision: Launched in 2015 by PM in response to gender imbalance, BBBP has transformed into a national movement, fostering gender equality and empowering the girl child to lead change.
