Abstract : In
almost every part in
India. both rural in urban alike
a midwifes tip is lower when the new born baby is a girlrather than, a
boy. This practice is
symptomatic of parenteral attitude towards the girl child by taking in to
account the hitch or the
community would not admit it right away.
the authors, on assessment of
nutritional status and non-tribal
children sexwise. observed that tribal are equally attention
and sincere to the cause of girl
child as boys in comparison to
their non-tribal counterparts· (Nutritional
status is an independent indicator
for revealing truth about the
status of the girl child). A new curriculum for the schoolers with the objective of
'mindset about gender perspectives must be changed' and fees- free· girl -education
(have knowledge. be prosperous) with
special rivision for the families living under-poverty line for compensation as
incentive of wages, the girl child suppose to earn during her study period. will certainly help in the progress and
empowerment of the girls (no amount is high enough to achieve the noble task
of the progress
and empowerment of
the girls). As per trusteeship principle
of the Father of the Nation, "Mahatma Gandhi", the affluent
class of the society should bear the expenses. incurred on this noble task
and the whole amount should
be exempted from income tax etc. This will delink the so called generosity
of politicians, who are little more than managers of vote bank politics. The
infant does not ask mother to reserve
milk tor her. it is her due. her right. This is how
the rights of the girl
must be viewed by the society.
