The government of India had launched the BBBP scheme on January 22, 2015, to address major issues related to female empowerment in the country. BBBP scheme is a tri-ministerial effort of Ministries of Women and Child Development, Health and Family Welfare, and Human Resource Development and addresses the declining child sex ratio (CSR) and other related issues of Wome empowerment over a life cycle continuum. During the last six years since its inception, the BBBP scheme has been aiming to change the mindset of the public to acknowledge the rights of the girl child. The scheme has resulted in increased awareness and sensitization of the masses regarding the prevalence of gender bias and the role of the community in eradicating it. It has also raised concerns about the issue of the declining child sex ratio in India.
