PM's words have encouraged him further but more work needs to be done, says Sunil Jaglan
Chandigarh: The man behind the ‘Selfie with Daughter’ initiative, whose efforts were praised by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his address at UK’s Wembley Stadium, on Saturday said his words have encouraged him further but more work needs to be done in Haryana to give impetus to the ‘Beti Bachao Beti Padhao’ campaign.
The village head of Bibipur village in Jind district Sunil Jaglan said that in Haryana, the state with the lowest sex rate ratio, and even at the Central level, an independent department should be set up to monitor and ensure effective implementation of campaigns for the girl child.
“Modiji repeatedly talking about this initiative at world level is helping infuse and provide more encouragement to what I am doing back in Haryana,” Jaglan, who had launched the ‘Selfie with Daughter’ campaign in Jind in June, said. “Despite the fact that it is Modi’s pet initiative, the Beti Bachao campaign is not getting that impetus in Haryana. I feel the state needs to do much more..,” he said.
