Save the girl child campaign

I t was announced a couple of years back by the CBSE that the parents of an only girl child would not have to pay any tuition fees in a school affiliated to the CBSE. In other words, the education of the only girl child at a CBSE school would be free! This step was indeed commendable, as not only it would have rewarded the parents of the only girl child, but also encouraged other parents to think likewise..!
But unfortunately, CBSE had to withdraw this announcement as a result of strong protest from a few schools, ironically from Rajasthan, the land of Child Marriages, Dowry Deaths, Female Infanticide and Sati..!
And wonder of wonders, there wasn't any hint of indignation against this retraction of the decsion by CBSE from any of the so called champions of the cause of the girl child, or the protagonists of Women Empowerment...!
