Role of Beti Bachao- Beti Padhao and Beti Hai Anmol Schemes in Girls Educational Upliftment and Empowerment in Himachal Pradesh

Gender discrimination, a falling child sex ratio, educational inequality, and socioeconomic hurdles are some of the reasons why India's female child status has been a source of worry. In 2015, the Beti Bachao Beti Padhao (BBBP) initiative was started by the Indian government to tackle these concerns. In 2010, the Beti Hai Anmol Yojana was implemented by the Himachal Pradesh government. The empowerment, education, survival, and safety of girls are the primary goals of these programs. This research aims to better understand how these two programmes have contributed to the advancement of girls in Himachal Pradesh. Government publications, policy papers, research articles, census data, and official statistics are all sources of secondary data used in the study. The results show that these programs have helped enhance girls' socioeconomic situation, minimise gender discrimination, boost school enrolment, and promote awareness about the importance of girls' education. Yet, obstacles such as a lack of knowledge in outlying regions, bureaucratic red tape, and societal and cultural differences persist. Sustaining advances in the welfare of the female child requires sustained governmental support, efficient execution, and community engagement, according to the research.
