Modi launches campaign to tackle India’s dwindling number of girls
By Krista Mahr NEW DELHI (Reuters) – Prime Minister Narendra Modi condemned the blight of India's dwindling number of girls on Thursday, launching a campaign to address the problem the United Nations has said amounts to a national emergency. The "Beti Bachao Beti Padhao" (Save the Daughter, Teach the Daughter) campaign is aimed at improving India's child sex ratio – the number of girls born for every 1,000 boys – and gender equality through access to education.
