Gender and development are closely intertwined in Bihar

June 14, 2024 by rawan239

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.

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.
