The falling sex ratio of Indian states is a cause of concern for the policy makers of the country. The government of India is trying to fill up this gap as soon as possible. That is the reason that the Indian government has dispersed the coverage of the “Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao” plan in all districts of the country. We are hopeful that very soon the positive results of this plan will be in front of everyone.
