National Girl Child Day – Quiz Competition
The Women’s Cell celebrated National
Girl Child Day on January 24, 2024. An online quiz was conducted on this topic
at 5pm using the Google form. 10 students took part in this quiz competition. The National Girl Child Day is
celebrated every year on this day to commemorate the inaugural anniversary of
Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao Scheme (Save the girl child, Educate the girl child)
on January 24, 2015. This day was first initiated in 2008 by the Ministry of
Women and Child Development. The main objective behind this is to highlight the
inequalities faced by girls and to promote awareness including the rights of a
girl child, and the importance of education, health and nutrition.
