The Beti Bachao Beti Padhao (BBBP) campaign is vital for advocating the rights and well-being of girls in India. Such initiatives not only meet the immediate needs of families but also drive long-term societal change by fostering respect and equality for girls. Ensuring every girl has the opportunity to thrive is crucial for building a brighter future for our nation.

Through these programs, we reaffirm our commitment to creating an environment where girls can envision and achieve their dreams, paving the way for a society that values and empowers every girl.
