Apropos of ‘Hope for Haryana’; Haryana is a progressive state whose daughters have excelled in sports. However, its past record on sex ratio remained a serious concern. A deep-rooted preference for sons, gender discrimination and high school dropout rates among girls contributed to this imbalance.

Sustained efforts focusing on girls’ education, healthcare and strict enforcement against illegal prenatal sex determination and abortions must continue. While societal attitude towards girls is gradually changing, this progress should not lead to complacency.
