The birth of a girl child is still not welcomed in many parts of our country. In a unique attempt to make people aware to not consider girls as a burden, Bengaluru has decided that first female baby born in the New Year at a civic hospital will receive free education till under-graduation.
The decision was made by Bengaluru Mayor R. Sampath Raj. Civic hospital health officials will record the time of female child born after December 31st midnight and in the first hour or early hours of January 1st before declaring the winner.
The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) will also deposit ?5 lakh in a joint bank account of its Commissioner and the first born girl child. The interest will be utilized later for her education.
The mayor further added that only girl child born through natural delivery will be given this reward.
