6. Which state has a declining birth sex ratio in 2024 reported?
[A] Bihar
[B] Uttarakhand
[C] Haryana
[D] Rajasthan
Correct Answer: C [Haryana]
Notes:
In 2024, Haryana saw a worrying decline in its sex ratio at birth, hitting an eight-year low of 910 girls for every 1,000 boys. This statistic has raised concerns among activists and community members, even though government officials consider it a small change. The sex ratio is an important measure of gender equality and shows the condition of women in society. Across India, the national sex ratio at birth was noted at 929 in the National Health and Family Survey-5 (NFHS-5) released in 2021.
