Abstract

Haryana is one of the most prosperous states in India and is growing fast economically. However, the status of women is poor as far as the sex ratio is concerned. Both sexes should be a natural mix of the population. Do men have the right to disturb this nature’s law? Family should value girls as an asset, and gender equity should start
from home itself. The community should have a pivotal role in changing the mindset of people and families to build a positive attitude towards the girl child.
