Daughter is an important gift given by God, which is available only to the fortunate and daughters are the Lakshmi of the house.
Our only aim through this post is to make everyone aware about the bright future of daughters so that people understand the importance of daughters in society.
It is very important to change the mindset of the people of our society because some people kill daughters in want of sons. But they do not have the idea that if there will be no daughters in the society, then from where will they bring sons, wives from where. How will their generation grow.

ROHTAK: A panchayat in Haryana's Mahendragarh district on Tuesday took a first of its kind initiative by passing a resolution to save the girl child. As per the resolution, the panchayat will put money in a fixed deposit worth Rs 5,000 in the name of a newly-born baby girl.
Bewal village panchayat will also gift 5 kg ghee to the mother on the birth of the girl child. In Haryana, as per convention, only mothers of newly born male children are offered gifts.
India most dangerous place in the world for a baby girl As per the newly released data of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN-DESA), an Indian girl child aged 1-5 years is 75 percent more likely to die than an Indian boy child, making it the worst gender differential in child mortality for any country in the world. As per the data, infant (0-1 years) and child (1-5 years) mortality is declining in India and across the globe, although not at a fast pace as was hoped in India. At the same time, the rest of the world is experiencing a faster fall in female infant and child mortality in comparison to male child mortality. This is on account of well established biological factors which make girls better survivors of early infancy given equal access to resources. But, sadly world's two most populous countries, China and India resist this trend. The survey conducted in 150 countries over 40 years shows that India and China are the only two countries in the world where female infant mortality is higher than male infant mortality in the 2000s. While India shows better infant mortality sex ratio than China with 97 male infant deaths for every 100 female. China shows 76 male infant deaths for every 100 female infant deaths. The number is 122 male infant deaths for every 100 female infant deaths in the developing world as a whole. In the neighboring countries like Sri Lanka the number is 125 and 120 in Pakistan.
