According to the 2011 Census of India, the sex ratio in Uttarakhand was 963 females per 1000 males. The sex ratio in West Bengal was 950 females per 1000 males. This means that there were 950 females for every 1000 males in West Bengal, compared to 963 females for every 1000 males in Uttarakhand.<\/p>\n<p>There are a number of factors that can contribute to a higher or lower sex ratio. One factor is the preference for sons over daughters. In some cultures, sons are seen as more valuable than daughters, and this can lead to female infanticide or neglect. Another factor is the availability of healthcare.

This can lead to a lower sex ratio.<\/p>\n<p>The sex ratio in India has been declining in recent years. This is due to a number of factors, including the preference for sons, female infanticide, and poor healthcare. The decline in the sex ratio is a serious concern, as it can lead to a number of problems, such as an aging population and a shortage of women in the workforce.<\/p>\n<p>The government of India has taken a number of steps to address the issue of the declining sex ratio. These steps include providing free healthcare to pregnant women and children, and launching awareness campaigns to promote gender equality.
