The Beti Bachao Beti Padhao (BBBP) scheme, initiated by the Government of India in 2015, stands as a beacon of hope in the country’s quest for gender equality and the empowerment of girl children. This groundbreaking program addresses gender discrimination, promotes education, and strives to improve the socio-economic status of girls. Despite India’s rich cultural heritage, gender-based disparities and skewed sex ratios persist, and BBBP seeks to challenge these deeply ingrained norms. Through a

comprehensive set of strategies, including awareness campaigns, financial incentives like the Sukanya Samriddhi Account, and community engagement, BBBP has made notable progress in achieving its objectives. The scheme places a strong emphasis on education access, resulting in increased enrolment rates and reduced dropout rates among girls. Furthermore, it extends its support to skill development and vocational training, ensuring that girls have opportunities for growth beyond primary education. The reviews of BBBP reveal that while significant strides have been made, challenges such as cultural norms and economic factors impacting girls’ dropout rates persist. Collaboration between government agencies and NGOs has played a pivotal role in the scheme’s success, expanding its reach and impact. Looking forward, there is a call for the continued expansion of BBBP’s programs, sustained efforts, and innovative approaches to further promote gender equality and women’s empowerment. BBBP is a transformativeinitiative that addresses gender disparities, empowers girls, and reshapes societal attitudes. It represents not just a government program but a societal shift toward a more equitable and inclusive India where every girl has the opportunity to thrive, contribute to society, and lead the way toward a brighter future.
