The Deputy Commissioner of Karnal, Haryana; Mrs. Neelam Pradeep Kansi had initiated a mass awareness program (March 8, The Tribune, Chandigarh. You may need to scroll down for the news) last year in September against female foeticide involving all sections of the society to "save girl child". The program involves mass pledge by people from all sections on the 6th of every month and held at various places in Karnal district and more than 5 lakh people took the oath in the program. Guess, what!!! It gave results within six months. Sex-ratio has risen from 813 last year to 852 this year. Mrs. Kansi said that she would continue it till a balanced sex-ratio will not be achieved.
I congratulate her for such an initiative. It is a lesson as well as inspiration for all of us that, yes, there is solution. We just need to come forward. I don't want to write long in the post as you all are aware about the problem and its consequences. Also, I may sound pessimistic if try to write more about the issue and news will lost its beauty. Read the news and ask yourself, Is it that you can't do anything? Or, Is it that you don't want to do anything?
