Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao Yojana

Correct answer: A. The integrated objective is incomplete

Answer: A, the integrated objective is incomplete. The phrase Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao expresses two connected priorities: protecting the rights, dignity, and well-being of girls, and ensuring their education and development. Safety helps a girl attend and participate in school, while education strengthens knowledge, confidence, and her ability to make informed choices. A campaign that mentions only protection leaves out the educational and empowerment dimension. Option A is correct because it recognizes that both parts are needed for a complete objective. Option B is wrong because omitting education means the campaign is incomplete. Option C is wrong because education is an important part of a girl’s development. Option D is wrong because safety and education can support each other, even though they are not identical services. Memory cue: “Bachao” and “Padhao” are meant to be remembered together—protect and educate.

Correct answer: A. Promoting daughters life education and dignity

This scheme emphasizes protection and education of the girl child. In exams remember life education and dignity together.

Correct answer: B. On the life, safety and protection of the girl child

‘Beti Bachao’ focuses on the girl child’s right to life, safety and protection. It is linked with preventing harmful practices such as sex selection and ending discrimination against girls. School construction or examination performance may be important, but they do not express the central meaning of the term ‘Beti Bachao’. Exam tip: associate ‘Bachao’ with the life and safety of the girl child.

Correct answer: A. Providing girls with opportunities for education

The main purpose of ‘Beti Padhao’ is to provide girls with equal opportunities for schooling and learning. Therefore, option A is correct. Teaching girls only household work or limiting their education to a particular level goes against this purpose. Exam tip: Remember ‘Beti Padhao’ in connection with girls’ education and empowerment.

Correct answer: A. Thinking that gives less importance to daughters

The direct answer is A: the scheme aims to change thinking that gives less importance to daughters. Beti Bachao Beti Padhao means protecting the girl child and supporting her education. The central problem is not merely a lack of books; it is discrimination, such as preferring sons, spending less on girls, or believing that girls do not need education. Step by step, the scheme encourages society to value girls, protect them, educate them, and provide equal chances. Option A is correct because it directly describes the negative attitude that the campaign wants to remove. Option B is not correct because giving equal opportunities is the positive attitude that the scheme wants to create, not the harmful thinking it aims to change. Option C is also a desirable result, because respecting girls' education is encouraged, but it does not name the discriminatory thinking being changed as directly as A. Option D is another important goal related to girls' welfare, but it describes care for health rather than the particular social attitude asked about. A common mistake is to choose a positive outcome instead of identifying the negative mindset being corrected. Remember: the scheme changes discrimination and builds equal value for daughters.

Correct answer: B. Supporting the daughter's education, safety, and equal opportunities

Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao aims to reduce discrimination against girls and promote their education, safety, and empowerment. Therefore, a family should support a daughter's education, ensure her safety, and provide her equal opportunities. Supporting education alone is incomplete if safety and equal treatment are ignored. Exam tip: In such questions, prefer the option that includes education, safety, and equal opportunity.

Correct answer: C. Enrolment

The correct answer is Enrolment. Enrolment means formally registering a student for admission to a school. Retention refers to keeping a child in school after enrolment, so it does not mean admission. Exam tip: associate school entry or registration with ‘enrolment’.

Correct answer: D. Retention

Retention means that a student continues in school or remains in the education system. Therefore, a daughter continuing her studies is related to retention. Enrolment refers only to admission, while attendance refers to being present at school regularly. Exam tip: Remember that enrolment, attendance, and retention are different terms.

Correct answer: B. Positive family support

The central idea is that a daughter deserves the same opportunity to learn and develop as any son. When parents give importance to her education, they show encouragement, care, and a belief in her ability. This creates a supportive family environment rather than treating her as less important. Such support is one practical way of promoting the aims of Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao and gender equality.

The situation does not show discrimination, neglect, or inequality. Instead, parents are removing a possible barrier and helping the girl use her right to education. Therefore, option B, positive family support, is the best choice. The word “support” is especially suitable because valuing education usually includes allowing study time, arranging schooling, motivating the child, and respecting her future goals.

Correct answer: A. Education increases skills, confidence and career options

Correct answer: A. Education develops basic knowledge and can strengthen communication, problem-solving, digital or vocational learning, and the ability to understand opportunities. These foundations may help a girl make informed decisions about further study, training, employment or another livelihood. Education does not guarantee one particular job, but it can widen choices and build confidence for future work. A is correct because it describes this positive connection among learning, skills and career possibilities. B is wrong because literacy and skills are commonly relevant to many kinds of work and training. C is wrong because education generally expands, rather than automatically reduces, opportunities. D is wrong because education is a process of learning and development, not merely leisure. Memory cue: education builds the foundation; skills and opportunities build the career.

Correct answer: A. Dignity

In the Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao scheme, respect for a girl means recognising her dignity, equal rights, and right to safe and respectful treatment. Therefore, dignity is the correct answer. Neglect and discrimination are contrary to respect, while exclusion denies girls equal opportunities. Exam tip: associate respect for girls with dignity, equality, and empowerment.

Correct answer: B. Promoting girls’ regular attendance, education and safety

A school can support girls’ continued education by providing a safe, inclusive environment and encouraging their regular attendance. Therefore, option B is correct. Providing opportunities only to boys or ignoring girls’ absence goes against the scheme’s aims of gender equality and girls’ education. Exam tip: In such questions, look for options related to girls’ education, safety, equal opportunity and awareness.

Correct answer: D. Gender discrimination

Giving a daughter less food, education, or care than a son solely because of her gender is gender discrimination. Gender equality means providing equal opportunities and facilities to girls and boys, so option A does not fit. Exam tip: Identify gender discrimination when unequal treatment is based on gender.

Correct answer: A. Support in girls health and community awareness

The direct answer is A: Anganwadi can support girls' health and community awareness. An Anganwadi is a local centre that connects families with basic child-care, nutrition, health and early-development services. Its workers can speak with parents, encourage care for daughters, share information about schooling and health, and help spread the message of equality through the community. The reasoning is simple: the scheme needs local participation; Anganwadi workers are close to families; therefore they can help awareness and health-related action reach homes. Option A is correct because it describes a constructive local contribution. Option B, closing schools, works against education and cannot support the scheme. Option C, stopping girls' education, is the opposite of the scheme's purpose. Option D, increasing discrimination, also contradicts the aim of valuing and protecting girls. Anganwadi is not a school replacement and cannot solve every problem alone, but it can provide important community-level support and link families with services. In an examination, connect Anganwadi with local outreach, child health, nutrition, family counselling and awareness. The memory cue is: Anganwadi brings support from the programme to the doorstep of the family.

Correct answer: A. To spread awareness about girls’ education and equal opportunities

In the Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao scheme, media is used to build positive attitudes towards girls, encourage their education, and spread the message of gender equality. Therefore, option A is correct. The other options oppose the scheme’s aims, which include awareness about girls’ education, health, and rights. Exam tip: Remember the role of media as ‘mass awareness and behaviour change’.

Correct answer: B. Learning continuity and self-confidence

Regular school attendance maintains continuity in learning, improves understanding of subjects, and builds a daughter’s self-confidence. The likelihood of dropping out is not strengthened by regular attendance; it is reduced. Exam tip: When stating benefits of regular attendance, mention learning continuity and self-confidence.

Correct answer: A. Because every daughter life is valuable

A positive response to the birth of a daughter is important because it shows that girls have equal human worth and should be welcomed, protected and supported. Such acceptance can challenge son preference and help create a family environment in which a girl receives nutrition, healthcare, affection, education and opportunities. Respect at birth is therefore a social signal against discrimination, not merely a ceremonial expression.

Option A is correct because every daughter’s life is valuable and deserves equal respect. Option B supports son preference and contradicts equality. Option C wrongly denies girls their need for education, while option D openly justifies discrimination. The scheme seeks a change in attitudes as well as practical support, so welcoming a daughter positively is an important first step toward her dignity and development.

Correct answer: A. Confidence and motivation

When a family appreciates a daughter’s achievements, she develops faith in her abilities and feels motivated to perform better. Therefore, confidence and motivation increase. Gender discrimination, neglect, and reduced educational opportunities result from negative attitudes, not appreciation. Exam tip: Link positive encouragement with confidence, motivation, and better achievement.

Correct answer: A. Conducting a campaign for girls’ enrolment and regular attendance

A campaign that promotes girls’ enrolment and regular attendance supports the awareness and girl-child education goals associated with Beti Bachao Beti Padhao. The other options restrict girls’ education or encourage discrimination, so they are incorrect. Exam tip: Choose the option that promotes girls’ rights, education, and equal opportunity.

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

Including a daughter in family decisions gives her an opportunity to express her views, consider choices, and understand responsibility for outcomes. This builds her confidence and sense of responsibility. Option B is the opposite, because participation makes her opinions more valued. Exam tip: Link participation in decision-making with confidence and responsibility while writing about girls’ empowerment.

Correct answer: C. Discriminating against a daughter

Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao promotes a positive attitude towards girls, equal opportunities, education and dignity. Therefore, discriminating against a daughter is the most incorrect behaviour. Sending her to school, caring for her health and treating her with respect support the scheme’s aims. Exam tip: Link the scheme not only with saving and educating girls, but also with equality and respect.

Correct answer: A. Raising public awareness about girls' education, safety and equal respect

In the Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao scheme, an awareness rally is mainly used to develop positive public attitudes towards girls and spread the message of their education, safety and equal respect. Enrolment, scholarship distribution and health check-ups may be separate activities, but the key purpose of a rally is public awareness. Exam tip: Link an awareness rally with social attitude change and public messaging.

Correct answer: A. It increases knowledge skills and opportunities

Education strengthens the future of both daughter and family. In exams write education investment.

Correct answer: A. By motivating her to continue education and building her confidence

Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao promotes girls’ education and empowerment. A teacher can support a girl by motivating her to continue studying, recognising her abilities, and creating a supportive learning environment that builds confidence. Advising her to leave school is contrary to the scheme’s purpose. Exam tip: Remember motivation, equal opportunity, and confidence-building as key teacher roles.

Correct answer: A. Support for education continuity

The direct answer is option A, support for education continuity. Regularly checking girls’ attendance is not just record-keeping; it helps the school notice absence, repeated interruption and the risk of dropping out. Staff can then speak with the student and family, identify barriers such as safety, transport, household work, illness or lack of facilities, and connect the girl with suitable support. This keeps education continuing after enrolment. Option A is correct because attendance monitoring directly supports regular participation and continuation in education. Option B, food decoration, has no connection with whether a girl attends or remains in school. Option C, classroom colour, is a physical or decorative matter and does not explain attendance monitoring. Option D, school exclusion, means keeping a student out, which is opposite to the purpose of encouraging girls to remain in education. The correct idea is inclusion and follow-up, not punishment. Memory cue: attendance checked regularly means “notice absence, remove barriers, continue schooling.”
