On the occasion of National Girl Child Day, awareness can be spread in the society to promote the health of girls. Healthy girls are an important part of prosperity and hence it is very important to pay attention to their health. It is true that daughters nurture two families. This goal is linked to their health. A healthy daughter means a healthy family.
Protest against violence against girls –
Through this day, awareness can be increased in the society against violence against girls. This is an opportunity when the society can be explained that girls are also members of the society and it is everyone’s responsibility to give them respect.

The government cannot do this work alone, but for this all the people of the society will have to work together, which will empower the daughters and the daughters will change the condition and direction of the country. In this way, we will definitely be world gurus one day. In short, we have to run 21st century India considering it as the century of daughters, only then progress and prosperity of the country is possible.
