Birth of a girl child is celebrated by waiving the entire hospitalisation bill. His staff distribute sweets to the relatives of the mother.

The event’s purpose was to inform the public of the different factors that lead to female infanticide incidences, such as cultural traditions, dowry and family legacy.

In an atmosphere where every morning, our newspapers greet us with stories of girls being tormented, raped, killed or treated like a doormat in one way or another, trust India's “village republics” to bring in some good news from time to time.

Ten. Eleven. Twelve. Those are the ages that for many girls, the world becomes a much more dangerous place.

Female infanticide and foeticide can be stopped through widespread awareness and national regulations. We must join hands, in more than just prayer, to save the missing girls of India and put an end to this genocide.

My greatest challenge is to try and change mindsets. To keep working until female foeticide comes to an end.
