The Central Government had launched the ‘Beti Bachao-Beti Padhao’ scheme on 22 January 2015 to address the major issues related to women empowerment in the country. The move by the central government had affected the sex ratio and the latest round of the National Family Health Survey (NFHS 2019-21) report states that there are 1,020 females per 1,000 males in India.

NFHS 2019-2021 indicates that India has made significant strides in the last five years – in 2015-16, the sex ratio was just 991.
