In sync with National Girl Child Day celebrations, Amarinder urges for support to govt in women empowerment

Patiala, Jan 25 (UNI) In a major initiative for the empowerment of women, Punjab Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh on Monday kick-started the National Girl Child Day celebrations with a clarion call to the society to come forward to protect the life and liberty of girls.
Underlining the need for creating grassroot-level awareness to further improve Punjab’s Girl Child Sex Ratio, which had gone up from 890/1000 in 2013-14 to 920/1000 during 2019-20, the Chief Minister said his government’s decision to dedicate the month of January as ‘Dheeyan Di Lohri’ was a step in this direction.
Noting that even the religious scriptures accord high status to women, Capt Amarinder said with girls consistently outshining boys at various levels, they continue to prove their mettle year after year. Women only need motivation to make a mark in every sphere, he said, pointing out that opportunities for girls were growing in today’s era.
