The announcement was made during the “Har Sar Helmet” (Helmet for every head) program organized by Dr.

The CM also pointed out to some of the prominent programs like “Beti Bachao-Beti Padhao”, and save water for the future, and all other necessary programs are going on in Haryana to protect the environment.

The event was organized by Member of Parliament from, Sanjay Bhatia in collaboration with the international helmet manufacturing company Stud, in which helmets were distributed to more than 100 youth.

Our Take:

While aiming to strike a balance between boys and girls, our governments are swinging the pendulum to the other end. At graduation, both girls and boys, around 21-years of age are ambitious and looking forward to a new life full of opportunities. However, by enabling this one up push only to girls, is clearly a gross violation of our constitution that allows equality for all.

On one end we want to keep instructing our boys how to behave, how to talk, how to respect — which is a must — but then by making them second class citizens, we as a society, are sending out a very wrong and unequal message.
