Which improvement in Haryana did the President note while speaking on women's empowerment?
- A.A rise in the sex ratio at birth in 2025 compared with 2014
- B.A fall in the female literacy gap to zero
- C.The highest female work participation rate in the country
- D.Full enrolment of girls in higher education
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is a rise in the sex ratio at birth in 2025 compared with 2014. This was the specific gain the President welcomed, and she added that with the Centre and the State working together the ratio should in time reach parity. Options B, C and D are claims of a kind that sound plausible in a speech on women's empowerment, but none of them was stated, and each goes much further than the measured improvement that was actually mentioned. The context is worth carrying: the President observed that Haryana has made notable progress over the past decade across several dimensions of women's empowerment, recalled the launch of 'Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao' from Panipat in January 2015, and expected further momentum in women's health and girls' education. She also praised the daughters of the State for their success in international championships.
