India accounts for 40% of the world's missing females with high rates of gender selection and post-birth female mortality.

In 2005, there were just 867 girls for every 1,000 boys. Now it is 924 - higher than the national average of 919.Shraddha Joshi, managing director of IFAD Women's Development Corporation, said:"Ceremonies like girl child celebrations are very important for us, they help us in many ways. One they prevent sex selected gender bias determination, sex-ratio increases, issues related to girls, we get positive respondents from those.

Female foeticide has been a scourge on this nation. A girl born into a family is perceived to be a financial burden, unable to carry the family name and unavailable for her parents in their old age.Prenatal sex determination and abortions were practiced widely, skewing the country's sex ratio to worrying proportions.

Data shows that the ratio is more skewed in urban than rural areas, as people are more affluent and have better access to medical facilities and neonatal tests. Despite efforts from the government to bring in legislation and several policy interventions to protect the"girl child", the child sex ratio at birth remains low.
