Child sex ratio, patriarchy, marriage, nutrition, gendered roles, Government social intervention initiatives.
Gender discrimination starts early in life as even new-born girls do not seem to have the initial advantage that is usually the case- neonatal mortality i.e., dying within the first month of birth -is higher for girls than for new-born boys. It is in this milieu that a government-bilateral collaborative schemes are initiated aimed at empowering women in an integrated manner. The schemes so far have focussed on Curbing Sex-Selective abortion by enhancing the worth of the girl child, Improving school enrolment and reducing school dropout rate, Reducing insecurity of parents having only daughters, Encouraging and motivating families to have supportive mechanisms for daughters and to value and love them. Mostly these schemes have never focussed at the capability enhancement of women.The study tries to have a look at these schemes operational in Madhya Pradesh.
