Objective of Holding the Competition:

The objective of this competition will be to suggest a new mnemonic/slogan for “save the girl child”. It was earlier suggested by both National Advisory Council (NAC) and the Sectoral Innovation Council of Ministry of Women and Child Development (MWCD) that a mnemonic that reflects the larger concern and gender equity should be the basis of the slogan in the context of declining Child Sex Ratio, rather than save the girl child. The prize winning and other excellent slogans will be used extensively for raising awareness on this issue by the Ministry and other Govt Departments.
