Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao' to cover 61 more districts.

 The Modi government's flagship programme 'Beti Bachao Beti Padhao', initially launched in 100 districts, will now be extended to 61 more districts owing to its success. The programme launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi at Sonipat in Haryana last year, seeks to improve the declining trend of child sex ratio in selected districts from the current level of 918 by preventing gender-biased sex selection and ensuring "survival, protection and education" of the girl child.
