National Girl Child Day Quotes & Wishes
Marking January 24 — since 2008.
National Girl Child Day is observed on January 24 each year, a date chosen because it marks the day in 1966 that Indira Gandhi became India's first woman Prime Minister. The Ministry of Women and Child Development launched the observance in 2008 to raise awareness of the declining child sex ratio and gender inequality. Read our Quotes for the occasion.
