Child sex ratio data shows the extent of the problem, but cause analysis identifies the factors operating in that area, such as son preference, sex selection, lack of education, or limited access to health services. Without such analysis, policy planning cannot take targeted action on the root causes. Merely storing or publishing data does not determine an effective solution. Exam tip: data tells what is happening; cause analysis explains why it is happening.

The correct answer is agency and equal opportunity. Allowing a daughter to make decisions about her education and career is a key part of empowerment and equal opportunity. Preventing her from choosing a career limits her agency. Options such as building maintenance are not related to the scheme’s objective of gender equality and empowerment. Exam tip: Link questions about freedom in education, careers, and decision-making with girls’ empowerment.

Enrolment in primary school alone does not ensure that a girl will enter secondary school, attend regularly, and complete her education. Reducing secondary dropout may require retention measures such as transition support, safety, transport, scholarships, toilets, counselling, and family support. Option B is incorrect because higher primary enrolment does not automatically remove barriers that cause dropout at the secondary stage. Exam tip: Along with enrolment, look for indicators of transition, attendance, and completion.

Media that portrays daughters as weak and dependent suggests that they are less capable. This can reinforce gender stereotypes, which goes against the scheme’s message of equality, education and empowerment. Option D would result from a positive portrayal, not from depicting daughters as dependent. Exam tip: In questions on media messages, check whether the portrayal challenges stereotypes or reinforces them.

Enrolment in a digital class alone does not ensure real digital inclusion. Without a device at home, the girl may be unable to access online lessons, complete assignments, or revise regularly; therefore, the digital-access and learning-continuity gap remains. Complete digital equality also requires a device, connectivity, and the ability to use digital resources. Exam tip: For the digital divide, remember device access, internet connectivity, and digital skills.

Scheme impact is understood through outcomes. In exams understand the difference between output and outcome.

Family support is important in many career decisions. In exams check family engagement.

The girl is formally included in sports, but she is restricted to activities of low importance. This is mere token participation because she is not given an equal place in important competitions, decisions, or leadership opportunities.

Exam tip: To identify equality of opportunity, check not only whether participation is allowed but also how meaningful the assigned role is.

Support of the whole family is needed in girls education. In exams remember father involvement.
