Gender and development are closely intertwined in Bihar

Development is positive change – https://exam.pscnotes.com/inclusive-Growth“>Inclusive Growth, contextual modernization, and it’s like. In all of these, and at the pivot of all, are Women. Women inBiharare 52% of the Population. The state ranks very low in development indicators. When it is about women, we are further low. For example, our women have low level of Literacy and high level of maternal mortality ratio. So, both Health and Education are important. The focus should start from the girl child itself. If we educate a girl then in the end, we educate a family.

Many national as well as international governmental and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are collecting data to highlight the plight of women in Bihar. Especially NGOs. More than development, it seems to be creating a discourse of lack of development here, which is why the situation has not improved much.

In the midst of the need to start from the girl child itself, there is a paradox we have come across. Here, in Bihar, both sex-selective abortion and pregnancy through In vitro fertilization (IVF) are increasing steadily. The former is subtle due to the Pre-Conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques Act, 1994 but the latter is blatant, as is evident from mushrooming IVF clinics across the province.
