Beti Bachao Beti Padhao Scheme

Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao (Save girl child, educate a girl child) is a social campaign of the Government of India that aims to generate awareness and improve the efficiency of welfare services intended for girls. The scheme was launched with an initial funding of ₹100 crore (US$15 million).

The Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao (BBBP) scheme was launched on 22 January 2015 by Modi.
