Text of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s message on National Girl Child Day:

“National Girl Child Day is a day to celebrate the exceptional achievements of the girl child, whose excellence in many fields makes us proud.

It is imperative to reject discrimination against the girl child and ensure equal opportunities for the girl child.

Let us reaffirm our commitment to challenging stereotypes based on gender & promote gender sensitisation as well as gender equality.”
