Teaching decision making ability to girls under Beti Bachao Beti Padhao Yojana is related to what?

Correct answer: Life skills and empowerment

The direct answer is option A: life skills and empowerment. Decision-making is the ability to understand a situation, consider choices, think about consequences and select a safe and suitable action. For a girl, this skill can help with study choices, career planning, personal safety, health decisions and asking for support. The reasoning is: learning to decide increases confidence; confidence supports participation; participation strengthens empowerment and independence. Option A is correct because decision-making is a core life skill and an important part of empowerment. Option B, only building construction, is a physical infrastructure activity and does not describe personal decision ability. Option C, school closure, removes opportunity rather than developing a skill. Option D, increasing discrimination, is opposite to equality and empowerment. Teaching decision-making should be age-appropriate and should include guidance, but guidance does not mean controlling every choice. Memory cue: “Think, choose, act safely” is a life skill that builds empowerment.
