National Girl Child Day is being celebrated across the country today. The day focuses on the rights, education, health, nutrition, and overall well-being of girls.
It is observed every year on January 24 to create awareness about the challenges girls face in society. The day reminds people about the need to stop gender discrimination and treat girls and boys equally.
The aim is to give girls equal opportunities in education, healthcare, and career growth so they can build a bright future. It also encourages families and communities to create a safe and supportive environment where girls can grow with confidence and independence.
Through awareness programmes, campaigns, and government initiatives, National Girl Child Day promotes the message that empowering girls is important for the progress of the nation.
