PM Modi's monthly radio programme completed its 100th episode today, aired at 11 am live across the country.
The gender ratio has improved in Haryana as a result of many campaigns like 'Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao' and 'Selfie With Daughter', Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Sunday in the 100th episode of its monthly radio program 'Mann Ki Baat'.
The Prime Minister also credited Haryana-based Sunil Jaglan for the 'Selfie With Daughter' campaign and said that the importance of having a daughter in one's life comes to the fore through his campaign.
"Sunil Jaglan ji has created an impact because earlier there used to be a lot of discussion on the Gender Ratio in Haryana", the PM said.
"I started the campaign 'Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao' from Haryana itself. The 'Selfie with Daughter' campaign influenced me a lot and I mentioned it in my episode. Soon this 'Selfie with Daughter' campaign turned into a global campaign. The motive of this campaign was to make people understand the importance of a daughter in one's life", the PM said.
