Nashik Child Sex Ratio Shows Small Increase After Campaign
The sex ratio in Nashik has slightly improved, with more girls being born per 1,000 boys.
This change is thanks to an awareness campaign.
The city's health department and ASHA workers visited many homes to teach parents that girls and boys should be treated equally.
Despite these efforts, some families still prefer boys, and special teams are working to prevent illegal gender tests that lead to abortions of female fetuses.
The goal is to create a society where girls and boys have the same opportunities.
Nashik's child sex ratio rose to 895 girls per 1000 boys.
A 0.7% increase was observed in seven months.
Awareness campaigns aimed to promote equality.
700 ASHA workers reached 2 lakh homes.
Special teams are appointed to stop malpractices.
