     CID is of the view that development, education and modern lifestyle has not changed the mindset of people and society, “Our society remains conservative to a large extent. Gender inequality is deep rooted in Indian social culture which is nurtured by patriarchal customs. All of these resulted in imbalance sex ratio caused by female infanticide and feticide. That is imperative to change this predicament for wellbeing of society. One of the main reasons of declining sex ratio is use of modern technology in determination of sex, so there is need of awareness and strict enforcement of PC-PNDT Act to counter this problem.

     To create awareness amongst different sections of the society about impact of declining sex ratio on our social fabrication, eradicate sex determination tests and introduce strict laws to counter the menace in its totality. CID is Running “Save the Girl Child Campaign” in Gwalior and nearby area as problem is most acute in this region of MP.
