‘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.

Exam tip: associate ‘Bachao’ with the life and safety of the girl child.

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.

The scheme aims to change discriminatory thinking toward girls. In exams write mindset change.

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.

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’.

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.

Valuing a daughter education shows equality-oriented thinking. In exams write parental support.

Education can become a base for future livelihood. In exams write education livelihood link.

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.

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.

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.

Anganwadi can help take the message to families and community. In exams write local support.

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.

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.

Respecting a daughter birth shows equality-oriented thinking. In exams write value of girl child.

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.

Exam tip: Link positive encouragement with confidence, motivation, and better achievement.

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.

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.

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.
