Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao Yojana

Correct answer: A. Save the Daughter, Educate the Daughter

‘Save the Daughter, Educate the Daughter’ is the central slogan of the Beti Bachao Beti Padhao Yojana. The scheme promotes the protection, survival and education of girls and aims to reduce gender discrimination. ‘Sons and Daughters Are Equal’ supports gender equality, but it is not the named slogan of this scheme. Exam tip: Link the key words in a scheme’s name with its objective and slogan.

Correct answer: A. So she can study and grow without fear

The Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao scheme aims to create a safe and supportive environment for girls. Safety helps a girl attend school without fear, continue her education, and use opportunities for her overall development. Option B is incorrect because stopping education is contrary to the scheme’s purpose. Exam tip: Link girls’ safety with education, equal opportunities, and empowerment.

Correct answer: A. An attitude of respect, equality and support for education

Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao promotes respect for girls, gender equality, and support for their education. Therefore, option A is correct. Keeping girls away from education or limiting their opportunities goes against the purpose of the scheme. Exam tip: Remember this scheme in connection with girls’ education and gender equality.

Correct answer: A. A girl protection and education awareness programme

It is a social programme linked with girls life and education. In exams write awareness programme.

Correct answer: A. School retention

School retention means ensuring that girls remain enrolled and continue their education without dropping out. Therefore, preventing girls from leaving school is linked to retention. School exclusion is the opposite, as it keeps a child away from education. Exam tip: Link phrases such as ‘preventing dropout’ with retention or continuity of education.

Correct answer: A. Education becomes the base of skills and career options

Direct answer: Option A, education becomes the base of skills and career options. Education connects with future work in several steps: it develops literacy, numeracy, communication, problem-solving, digital awareness, and the ability to learn further; these skills support vocational training, higher education, job applications, entrepreneurship, and informed livelihood choices; better knowledge can therefore widen future opportunities. Education does not guarantee one particular job, but it can improve preparation and choice. Option A is correct because it describes this education-livelihood link. Option B is wrong because education is strongly related to skills and work readiness. Option C is wrong because education generally expands, rather than ends, opportunities. Option D is wrong because education has purposes far beyond entertainment, including knowledge, confidence, citizenship, and economic participation. Memory cue: education builds skills, skills open choices, and choices support livelihoods.

Correct answer: A. A girl taking admission in school

School enrolment means that a girl takes admission and her name is entered in the school records. Therefore, option A is correct. Leaving school is dropout, while daily attendance takes place after admission. Exam tip: remember enrolment as admission or registration in a school.

Correct answer: A. Because it builds a girl's confidence and promotes gender equality

Respect strengthens a girl's confidence, self-esteem, and sense of equal participation in the family and society. Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao aims to reduce discrimination against girls and ensure equal opportunities for their education and development. Respect alone is not enough; education and opportunities to make decisions are also essential. Exam tip: Use key terms such as “gender equality” and “girl empowerment” in your answer.

Correct answer: A. Gender inequality

The scheme promotes reducing opportunity gaps between girls and boys. In exams write gender inequality.

Correct answer: A. Family, teachers, and the community

Answer: A, family, teachers, and the community. A girl’s continued education usually depends on a supportive environment rather than on one isolated person. Family members can encourage regular attendance, help overcome household or social barriers, and value education. Teachers and the school can provide academic guidance, identify learning difficulties, and connect the student with appropriate support. The wider community can promote safety, challenge harmful attitudes, and encourage families to keep girls in school. Option A is correct because it describes a shared support system. Option B is too narrow: a driver may provide transport in some situation, but cannot represent the whole educational support system. Option C is also too narrow and focuses on a shopkeeper’s occupation, not education. Option D may be helpful as an individual role model, but sportspersons alone cannot ensure educational continuity. Memory cue: girls’ education grows through family, school, and community support together.

Correct answer: D. All options are correct

Direct answer: Option D, all options are correct. Stopping a girl from attending school violates her opportunity to receive education, treats her unequally because of gender, and weakens her empowerment and ability to make informed choices. The reasoning is: school provides learning and capabilities; equal opportunity requires that girls not be denied access because they are girls; empowerment grows when girls gain knowledge, confidence and choices. Option A is correct because the action is against girls’ education and equal opportunity. Option B is correct because unequal restriction is against gender equality. Option C is correct because preventing education reduces girls’ agency and empowerment. Since A, B and C are all true, D is the best answer. A common mistake is to choose only one true statement when option D combines all of them. Memory cue: when every listed harm accurately follows from the action, choose “all options are correct.”

Correct answer: A. Saving educating and respecting girls

Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao is based on the idea that girls should be valued and given the same chance to survive, develop, learn, and participate in society. Its message combines protection of the girl child, education, and respect or dignity. The purpose is not merely admission to school; it also challenges harmful attitudes and supports a more equal view of girls and boys.

Option A contains all three central ideas: saving girls, educating them, and respecting them. The other options promote exclusion, preference for boys, or neglect, which are opposite to the scheme’s purpose. Therefore A is correct. Remembering the linked ideas of protection, education, and dignity helps explain why the scheme is connected with gender equality and improved opportunities for girls.

Correct answer: A. So girls get equal life and education opportunities

When discrimination reduces girls get development opportunities. In exams write discrimination reduction.

Correct answer: A. Supporting girl health and awareness in the community

Anganwadi is linked with girls and families at local level. In exams write community-level support.

Correct answer: A. Through enrolment attendance and continued study

The success of girls’ education should be judged by real participation and continuation, not by a slogan or a visible school feature. Enrolment shows whether girls are entering education, attendance shows whether they are able to participate regularly, and retention or continued study shows whether they remain in school over time. Together, these indicators give a more meaningful picture of educational progress.

Option A is correct because it includes enrolment, attendance, and continuation. A school wall colour, the loudness of a slogan, or a food list cannot by itself show whether girls are receiving sustained education. These measures should ideally be considered along with learning and completion, but among the given choices, the three participation indicators provide the appropriate answer.

Correct answer: C. Discriminating against daughters

The direct answer is C: discriminating against daughters is not promoted. Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao seeks a change in attitudes and action so that girls are valued, protected, educated and given equal opportunities. A is promoted because equality means daughters and sons should receive equal worth and respect. B is promoted because girls’ education is central to the programme’s purpose. D is promoted because the health, survival and well-being of girls are important. C is the negative option and directly conflicts with equality, education and protection. Therefore read the question word “not” carefully and choose C. A memory cue is: the programme stands for saving, protecting and educating the girl child—not discrimination against her.

Correct answer: A. An aware, capable and equitable society is built

Girls’ education gives girls knowledge, skills and confidence. It helps them make better decisions about health, work, family and community, leading to greater awareness, equality and socio-economic development. Option D is the opposite of the correct idea because education generally helps reduce gender discrimination. Exam tip: Link girls’ education with empowerment, equality and development.

Correct answer: A. A daughter education is an investment in the future

Direct answer: Option A, educating a daughter is an investment in the future. Education is not wasteful spending; it develops knowledge, confidence, skills, health awareness, decision-making and livelihood possibilities. The reasoning is: money spent on education gives learning and capability; capability can improve future choices, participation and earning opportunities; those benefits can support the girl, her family and society. Option A is correct because it expresses education as a long-term benefit rather than an immediate loss. Option B is wrong because stopping education removes opportunities and reinforces disadvantage. Option C is wrong because sons and daughters both deserve education; ability is not decided by gender. Option D is wrong because excluding daughters from decisions denies their rights and useful perspectives. This message does not promise guaranteed income, but it correctly explains the value of education. Memory cue: education is a lasting capability, not wasteful expenditure.

Correct answer: A. To spread public awareness about girls’ education, safety and dignity

Media such as television, radio, newspapers and social media can create wide public awareness about the birth, education, safety and equal dignity of girls. Therefore, option A is correct. Options B and C are contrary to the scheme’s aim of gender equality, and hiding health and nutrition information is also not appropriate. Exam tip: Match each option with the scheme’s core aims—protection, education and empowerment of girls.

Correct answer: A. Safety, respect and protection from discrimination at home, school and in society

In the context of Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao, a safe environment means that girls receive safety from violence, harassment and discrimination, along with respectful treatment at home, school and in society. Safety limited to one place or one occasion is not sufficient. Exam tip: include the ideas of safety, dignity and a discrimination-free environment.

Correct answer: A. Education and awareness increase girls options

Direct answer: Option A, education and awareness can increase girls’ options. The connection with prevention of child marriage is indirect but important: continued schooling can delay early marriage, awareness can help families understand legal, health and educational harms, and informed girls may know where to seek support and make decisions about their future. Option A is correct because it describes increased choices and protective knowledge, not an automatic guarantee. Option B is wrong because the intended effect is to reduce, not increase, child marriage. Option C is wrong because the approach supports schooling rather than closing schools. Option D is wrong because continuing education is the opposite of leaving studies. The reasoning should be stated carefully: education may reduce risk when combined with family, community and legal support; one scheme alone cannot solve every case. Memory cue: education keeps options open and awareness helps prevent early marriage.

Correct answer: A. Her confidence and sense of responsibility increase

Including a girl in decisions about her education, health and future helps her express her views. It builds her confidence, decision-making ability and sense of responsibility, which are important aspects of girls’ empowerment. Option B is the opposite: participation strengthens, rather than reduces, her voice. Exam tip: Use terms such as ‘participation’, ‘confidence’ and ‘empowerment’ in your answer.

Correct answer: C. It supports discrimination against girls

Option C is the incorrect statement. Beti Bachao Beti Padhao promotes the survival, protection, education and dignity of girls and seeks to challenge gender discrimination. It encourages families and communities to value daughters. Therefore, saying that the scheme supports discrimination directly contradicts its purpose; options A, B and D express its intended goals.

Correct answer: A. Knowledge, skills, confidence and choices increase

Girls’ education develops subject knowledge, skills such as communication and problem-solving, confidence, and decision-making ability. It expands options for higher education, skill training, and different occupations; therefore, option A is correct. Option B is incorrect because education expands rather than restricts opportunities. Exam tip: Link career preparation with knowledge, skills, confidence, and opportunities.

Correct answer: A. This scheme promotes girls life dignity education and equal opportunity

The essence of the scheme is to save educate and respect daughters. In exams write save educate and respect.
