President Murmu acknowledges the progress in women's empowerment, specifically the Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao campaign, and highlights the accomplishments of Haryana's daughters at international sporting events.
In her speech at the state-level Haryana Day celebrations in Kurukshetra commemorating the 60th anniversary of the formation of Haryana, President Droupadi Murmu recognized the Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao campaign as a significant milestone in promoting women's empowerment. Launched from Panipat, Haryana, in January 2015, this nationwide initiative has been instrumental in improving the Child Sex Ratio at birth. According to President Murmu, the ratio, which was 871 girls per one thousand boys in 2014, has increased to around 915 as of November 2025.
The President also acknowledged the accomplishments of Haryana's daughters in international sporting events. She named several athletes such as Manu Bhaker, Saweety Boora, and Jaismine Lamboria who have made Haryana and the nation proud with their remarkable achievements.
In addition to these sports victories, President Murmu emphasized that Haryana's daughters are contributing significantly in various sectors. The state's farmers, soldiers, sportspersons, and empowered women have been instrumental in establishing Haryana's identity.
Speaking on the occasion, Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini highlighted the contributions of these groups as the defining feature of Haryana. He pointed out that when Haryana was formed on this day in 1966, it was considered a backward region. However, today it ranks among the leading states of the country.
