Ahmednagar, 11th July
Female percentage in Ahmednagar dist. is increasing due to the consistent and coordinated efforts of Snehalaya and government agencies. As of last June (2011), the percentage of female birth was found at 813 per 1000 males. This year in the official survey of April, May and June 2012, the number of female births has been found increased up to 850 against 1000 boys. These statistics were officially announced by Mr. Ashok Pawade, Dy.CEO of Ahmednagar Zillah Parishad on 11 July, 2012.
Snehankur Adoption Centre had organized a felicitation ceremony today at Snehankur Centre. The NGO has respectfully invited those who have played the conscious roles in converting conventional efforts in to an encouraging success story.
Dr. Ravindra Niturkar (Dist. Civil Surgeon ), Mrs. Vaishali Shinde (Dy.Police chief), Dr. Priti Deshpande, well-known social worker, and many others were present as chief guests to celebrate this success on the occasion. Dr. Niturkar said that mainly the "Stree Bhrun Hatya Mukta Gaon Abhiyan" (people's movement to make a village free from female feticide) by Snehalaya -Snehankur, the strict implementation of PNDT Act, the schemes by Gram panchayats like depositing 2000 rupees in the name of female immediately after her birth, the get-together program of pregnant women at the village level, etc. have proved as very effective measures in changing the trend. Government agencies alone cannot face the complex social challenge of female feticide but it needs the active involvement of NGOs and society to fight the social evil of female feticide. Snehalaya and Snehankur volunteers have reached out to the grassroots level with positive messages. This movement is working 24 x 7 and also saves the underweight and premature girl children who were the victims of social customs. "These efforts need no money but a strong willpower for social change," Dr. Niturkar said.
