Hooda gives Rs 1 crore to Bibipur for speaking against female foeticide

He added that though the state government had enforced the PNDT Act in letter and spirit,a number of incentive-based schemes had been launched to check the menace of female foeticide and motivate people to change their mindset in favour of girl child,yet the issue needed wholehearted support of the people.

“The village and khap panchayat have shown to the entire country how such bodies can bring about a social change for the good of humanity. The imbalance in sex ratio is a big social problem and it needs to be checked with commitment and will,” said Hooda.

The Khap Mahapanchayat,which for the first time saw a large number of women participants,was held in Bibipur village,where it was also decided that a campaign will be launched against the rampant social evil. The Mahapanchayat,attended by several Khaps from Haryana,Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh,was held to create awareness among people against the social malady.
