&lt;br /&gt;
India&#039;s love for a male child has led to cold-blooded murder of three million girl children over the last decade.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By government&#039;s own admission, the ministry of statistics and programme implementation in its latest report on state of children says three million girl children have gone missing in 2011 compared to 2001.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even as the world celebrates the maiden &amp;quot; International Day of the Girl Child&amp;quot;, India doesn&#039;t seem to be the best place for a girl child.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Earlier, studies have said five-lakh lakh girls a year or 2,000 go missing in India daily due to female feticide. In families, where one girl child already exists, the chances of a second girl being born are as low as 54%.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a family with two female children, the chances of a third girl being born is as low as 20%.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ministry says that while the size of child population in the age group (0-6 years) is declining, the share of girls in 0-6 age bracket is declining faster than that of boys in the same age group. There are now 48 fewer girls per 1,000 boys than in 1981.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The decadal decline in population was also more for female children (3.8%) than male kids (2.4%) in the 0-6 age group.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Female children in India continue to get a raw deal in most cases.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Consider, India&#039;s infant mortality rate (IMR).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
IMR has declined for males from 78 in 1990 to 46 in 2010 and for females the dip was from 81 to 49 during this period. IMR among female children is higher in most of the years. The per year decline in IMR was 1.6 points for both males and females, and the percentage decline in female and male IMR are 39.5% and 41.02%, respectively, during the last two decades.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nearly 62% of the male children aged 12-23 months have received full immunization, while among the females it was only about 60%.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Crimes against girl children also increased substantially in 2011.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Among the IPC crimes, an increase of 43% was registered in kidnapping and abduction, while rape cases were increased by 30%, trafficking of minor girls recorded an increase of 27% and feticide reported an increase of 19% over 2010.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Altogether, 7,112 cases of child rape were reported in the country last year as compared to 5,484 in 2010.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also, 132 cases of feticide were reported in 2011.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The 27% increase in the crime of trafficking of minor girls (862 cases in 2011 compared to 679 cases in 2010) is also very disturbing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
India, which has a population of 1.21 billion, is next only to China (1.35 billion) as the most populous country in the world. According to the report, India represents almost 17.31% of the world&#039;s population, which means one out of six persons on this planet live in India.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The report says, &amp;quot;Every year, an estimated 26 millions of children are born in India which is nearly four million more than the population of Australia. It is significant that while an absolute increase of 181 million in the country&#039;s population has been recorded during the decade 2001-2011, there is a reduction of 5.05 millions in the population of children aged 0-6 years during this period. The decline in male children is 2.06 million and in female children is 2.99 millions. The share of Children (0-6 years) in the total population has showed a decline of 2.8 points in 2011, compared to Census 2001.&amp;quot; According to estimates, in 2011, the total number of children in the 0-6 age group is reported as 158.79 million, which is down by 3.1% compared to the child population in 2001 at 163.84 million.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The share of children (0-6 years) to the total population is 13.1% in 2011, whereas the corresponding figures for male and female children are 13.3% and 12.9%, respectively. Now, around 20 states and Union Territories have over one million children in the 0-6 age bracket. Uttar Pradesh (29.7 million), Bihar (18.6 million), Maharashtra (12.8 million), Madhya Pradesh (10.5 million) and Rajasthan (10.5 million) constitute 52% children in the 0-6 age group.

IMR among female children is higher in most of the years. The per year decline in IMR was 1.6 points for both males and females, and the percentage decline in female and male IMR are 39.5% and 41.02%, respectively, during the last two decades.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nearly 62% of the male children aged 12-23 months have received full immunization, while among the females it was only about 60%.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Crimes against girl children also increased substantially in 2011.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Among the IPC crimes, an increase of 43% was registered in kidnapping and abduction, while rape cases were increased by 30%, trafficking of minor girls recorded an increase of 27% and feticide reported an increase of 19% over 2010.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Altogether, 7,112 cases of child rape were reported in the country last year as compared to 5,484 in 2010.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, 132 cases of feticide were reported in 2011.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 27% increase in the crime of trafficking of minor girls (862 cases in 2011 compared to 679 cases in 2010) is also very disturbing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;India, which has a population of 1.21 billion, is next only to China (1.35 billion) as the most populous country in the world. According to the report, India represents almost 17.31% of the world&#039;s population, which means one out of six persons on this planet live in India.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The report says, &amp;quot;Every year, an estimated 26 millions of children are born in India which is nearly four million more than the population of Australia. It is significant that while an absolute increase of 181 million in the country&#039;s population has been recorded during the decade 2001-2011, there is a reduction of 5.05 millions in the population of children aged 0-6 years during this period. The decline in male children is 2.06 million and in female children is 2.99 millions. The share of Children (0-6 years) in the total population has showed a decline of 2.8 points in 2011, compared to Census 2001.&amp;quot; According to estimates, in 2011, the total number of children in the 0-6 age group is reported as 158.79 million, which is down by 3.1% compared to the child population in 2001 at 163.84 million.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The share of children (0-6 years) to the total population is 13.1% in 2011, whereas the corresponding figures for male and female children are 13.3% and 12.9%, respectively. Now, around 20 states and Union Territories have over one million children in the 0-6 age bracket. Uttar Pradesh (29.7 million), Bihar (18.6 million), Maharashtra (12.8 million), Madhya Pradesh (10.5 million) and Rajasthan (10.5 million) constitute 52% children in the 0-6 age group.&lt;/div&gt;&#039;

-The Times of India&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
India&#039;s love for a male child has led to cold-blooded murder of three million girl children over the last decade.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By government&#039;s own admission, the ministry of statistics and programme implementation in its latest report on state of children says three million girl children have gone missing in 2011 compared to 2001.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even as the world celebrates the maiden &amp;quot; International Day of the Girl Child&amp;quot;, India doesn&#039;t seem to be the best place for a girl child.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Earlier, studies have said five-lakh lakh girls a year or 2,000 go missing in India daily due to female feticide. In families, where one girl child already exists, the chances of a second girl being born are as low as 54%.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a family with two female children, the chances of a third girl being born is as low as 20%.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ministry says that while the size of child population in the age group (0-6 years) is declining, the share of girls in 0-6 age bracket is declining faster than that of boys in the same age group. There are now 48 fewer girls per 1,000 boys than in 1981.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The decadal decline in population was also more for female children (3.8%) than male kids (2.4%) in the 0-6 age group.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Female children in India continue to get a raw deal in most cases.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Consider, India&#039;s infant mortality rate (IMR).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
IMR has declined for males from 78 in 1990 to 46 in 2010 and for females the dip was from 81 to 49 during this period. IMR among female children is higher in most of the years. The per year decline in IMR was 1.6 points for both males and females, and the percentage decline in female and male IMR are 39.5% and 41.02%, respectively, during the last two decades.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nearly 62% of the male children aged 12-23 months have received full immunization, while among the females it was only about 60%.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Crimes against girl children also increased substantially in 2011.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Among the IPC crimes, an increase of 43% was registered in kidnapping and abduction, while rape cases were increased by 30%, trafficking of minor girls recorded an increase of 27% and feticide reported an increase of 19% over 2010.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Altogether, 7,112 cases of child rape were reported in the country last year as compared to 5,484 in 2010.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also, 132 cases of feticide were reported in 2011.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The 27% increase in the crime of trafficking of minor girls (862 cases in 2011 compared to 679 cases in 2010) is also very disturbing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
India, which has a population of 1.21 billion, is next only to China (1.35 billion) as the most populous country in the world. According to the report, India represents almost 17.31% of the world&#039;s population, which means one out of six persons on this planet live in India.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The report says, &amp;quot;Every year, an estimated 26 millions of children are born in India which is nearly four million more than the population of Australia. It is significant that while an absolute increase of 181 million in the country&#039;s population has been recorded during the decade 2001-2011, there is a reduction of 5.05 millions in the population of children aged 0-6 years during this period. The decline in male children is 2.06 million and in female children is 2.99 millions. The share of Children (0-6 years) in the total population has showed a decline of 2.8 points in 2011, compared to Census 2001.&amp;quot; According to estimates, in 2011, the total number of children in the 0-6 age group is reported as 158.79 million, which is down by 3.1% compared to the child population in 2001 at 163.84 million.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The share of children (0-6 years) to the total population is 13.1% in 2011, whereas the corresponding figures for male and female children are 13.3% and 12.9%, respectively. Now, around 20 states and Union Territories have over one million children in the 0-6 age bracket. Uttar Pradesh (29.7 million), Bihar (18.6 million), Maharashtra (12.8 million), Madhya Pradesh (10.5 million) and Rajasthan (10.5 million) constitute 52% children in the 0-6 age group.

&lt;br /&gt;
India&#039;s love for a male child has led to cold-blooded murder of three million girl children over the last decade.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By government&#039;s own admission, the ministry of statistics and programme implementation in its latest report on state of children says three million girl children have gone missing in 2011 compared to 2001.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even as the world celebrates the maiden &amp;quot; International Day of the Girl Child&amp;quot;, India doesn&#039;t seem to be the best place for a girl child.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Earlier, studies have said five-lakh lakh girls a year or 2,000 go missing in India daily due to female feticide. In families, where one girl child already exists, the chances of a second girl being born are as low as 54%.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a family with two female children, the chances of a third girl being born is as low as 20%.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ministry says that while the size of child population in the age group (0-6 years) is declining, the share of girls in 0-6 age bracket is declining faster than that of boys in the same age group. There are now 48 fewer girls per 1,000 boys than in 1981.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The decadal decline in population was also more for female children (3.8%) than male kids (2.4%) in the 0-6 age group.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Female children in India continue to get a raw deal in most cases.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Consider, India&#039;s infant mortality rate (IMR).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
IMR has declined for males from 78 in 1990 to 46 in 2010 and for females the dip was from 81 to 49 during this period. IMR among female children is higher in most of the years. The per year decline in IMR was 1.6 points for both males and females, and the percentage decline in female and male IMR are 39.5% and 41.02%, respectively, during the last two decades.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nearly 62% of the male children aged 12-23 months have received full immunization, while among the females it was only about 60%.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Crimes against girl children also increased substantially in 2011.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Among the IPC crimes, an increase of 43% was registered in kidnapping and abduction, while rape cases were increased by 30%, trafficking of minor girls recorded an increase of 27% and feticide reported an increase of 19% over 2010.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Altogether, 7,112 cases of child rape were reported in the country last year as compared to 5,484 in 2010.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also, 132 cases of feticide were reported in 2011.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The 27% increase in the crime of trafficking of minor girls (862 cases in 2011 compared to 679 cases in 2010) is also very disturbing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
India, which has a population of 1.21 billion, is next only to China (1.35 billion) as the most populous country in the world. According to the report, India represents almost 17.31% of the world&#039;s population, which means one out of six persons on this planet live in India.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The report says, &amp;quot;Every year, an estimated 26 millions of children are born in India which is nearly four million more than the population of Australia. It is significant that while an absolute increase of 181 million in the country&#039;s population has been recorded during the decade 2001-2011, there is a reduction of 5.05 millions in the population of children aged 0-6 years during this period. The decline in male children is 2.06 million and in female children is 2.99 millions. The share of Children (0-6 years) in the total population has showed a decline of 2.8 points in 2011, compared to Census 2001.&amp;quot; According to estimates, in 2011, the total number of children in the 0-6 age group is reported as 158.79 million, which is down by 3.1% compared to the child population in 2001 at 163.84 million.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The share of children (0-6 years) to the total population is 13.1% in 2011, whereas the corresponding figures for male and female children are 13.3% and 12.9%, respectively.

-The Times of India&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
India&#039;s love for a male child has led to cold-blooded murder of three million girl children over the last decade.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By government&#039;s own admission, the ministry of statistics and programme implementation in its latest report on state of children says three million girl children have gone missing in 2011 compared to 2001.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even as the world celebrates the maiden &amp;quot; International Day of the Girl Child&amp;quot;, India doesn&#039;t seem to be the best place for a girl child.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Earlier, studies have said five-lakh lakh girls a year or 2,000 go missing in India daily due to female feticide. In families, where one girl child already exists, the chances of a second girl being born are as low as 54%.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a family with two female children, the chances of a third girl being born is as low as 20%.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ministry says that while the size of child population in the age group (0-6 years) is declining, the share of girls in 0-6 age bracket is declining faster than that of boys in the same age group. There are now 48 fewer girls per 1,000 boys than in 1981.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The decadal decline in population was also more for female children (3.8%) than male kids (2.4%) in the 0-6 age group.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Female children in India continue to get a raw deal in most cases.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Consider, India&#039;s infant mortality rate (IMR).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
IMR has declined for males from 78 in 1990 to 46 in 2010 and for females the dip was from 81 to 49 during this period. IMR among female children is higher in most of the years. The per year decline in IMR was 1.6 points for both males and females, and the percentage decline in female and male IMR are 39.5% and 41.02%, respectively, during the last two decades.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nearly 62% of the male children aged 12-23 months have received full immunization, while among the females it was only about 60%.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Crimes against girl children also increased substantially in 2011.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Among the IPC crimes, an increase of 43% was registered in kidnapping and abduction, while rape cases were increased by 30%, trafficking of minor girls recorded an increase of 27% and feticide reported an increase of 19% over 2010.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Altogether, 7,112 cases of child rape were reported in the country last year as compared to 5,484 in 2010.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also, 132 cases of feticide were reported in 2011.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The 27% increase in the crime of trafficking of minor girls (862 cases in 2011 compared to 679 cases in 2010) is also very disturbing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
India, which has a population of 1.21 billion, is next only to China (1.35 billion) as the most populous country in the world. According to the report, India represents almost 17.31% of the world&#039;s population, which means one out of six persons on this planet live in India.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The report says, &amp;quot;Every year, an estimated 26 millions of children are born in India which is nearly four million more than the population of Australia. It is significant that while an absolute increase of 181 million in the country&#039;s population has been recorded during the decade 2001-2011, there is a reduction of 5.05 millions in the population of children aged 0-6 years during this period. The decline in male children is 2.06 million and in female children is 2.99 millions. The share of Children (0-6 years) in the total population has showed a decline of 2.8 points in 2011, compared to Census 2001.&amp;quot; According to estimates, in 2011, the total number of children in the 0-6 age group is reported as 158.79 million, which is down by 3.1% compared to the child population in 2001 at 163.84 million.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The share of children (0-6 years) to the total population is 13.1% in 2011, whereas the corresponding figures for male and female children are 13.3% and 12.9%, respectively. Now, around 20 states and Union Territories have over one million children in the 0-6 age bracket. Uttar Pradesh (29.7 million), Bihar (18.6 million), Maharashtra (12.8 million), Madhya Pradesh (10.5 million) and Rajasthan (10.5 million) constitute 52% children in the 0-6 age group.

-The Times of India&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
India&#039;s love for a male child has led to cold-blooded murder of three million girl children over the last decade.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By government&#039;s own admission, the ministry of statistics and programme implementation in its latest report on state of children says three million girl children have gone missing in 2011 compared to 2001.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even as the world celebrates the maiden &amp;quot; International Day of the Girl Child&amp;quot;, India doesn&#039;t seem to be the best place for a girl child.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Earlier, studies have said five-lakh lakh girls a year or 2,000 go missing in India daily due to female feticide. In families, where one girl child already exists, the chances of a second girl being born are as low as 54%.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a family with two female children, the chances of a third girl being born is as low as 20%.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ministry says that while the size of child population in the age group (0-6 years) is declining, the share of girls in 0-6 age bracket is declining faster than that of boys in the same age group. There are now 48 fewer girls per 1,000 boys than in 1981.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The decadal decline in population was also more for female children (3.8%) than male kids (2.4%) in the 0-6 age group.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Female children in India continue to get a raw deal in most cases.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Consider, India&#039;s infant mortality rate (IMR).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
IMR has declined for males from 78 in 1990 to 46 in 2010 and for females the dip was from 81 to 49 during this period. IMR among female children is higher in most of the years. The per year decline in IMR was 1.6 points for both males and females, and the percentage decline in female and male IMR are 39.5% and 41.02%, respectively, during the last two decades.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nearly 62% of the male children aged 12-23 months have received full immunization, while among the females it was only about 60%.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Crimes against girl children also increased substantially in 2011.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Among the IPC crimes, an increase of 43% was registered in kidnapping and abduction, while rape cases were increased by 30%, trafficking of minor girls recorded an increase of 27% and feticide reported an increase of 19% over 2010.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Altogether, 7,112 cases of child rape were reported in the country last year as compared to 5,484 in 2010.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also, 132 cases of feticide were reported in 2011.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The 27% increase in the crime of trafficking of minor girls (862 cases in 2011 compared to 679 cases in 2010) is also very disturbing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
India, which has a population of 1.21 billion, is next only to China (1.35 billion) as the most populous country in the world. According to the report, India represents almost 17.31% of the world&#039;s population, which means one out of six persons on this planet live in India.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The report says, &amp;quot;Every year, an estimated 26 millions of children are born in India which is nearly four million more than the population of Australia. It is significant that while an absolute increase of 181 million in the country&#039;s population has been recorded during the decade 2001-2011, there is a reduction of 5.05 millions in the population of children aged 0-6 years during this period. The decline in male children is 2.06 million and in female children is 2.99 millions. The share of Children (0-6 years) in the total population has showed a decline of 2.8 points in 2011, compared to Census 2001.&amp;quot; According to estimates, in 2011, the total number of children in the 0-6 age group is reported as 158.79 million, which is down by 3.1% compared to the child population in 2001 at 163.84 million.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The share of children (0-6 years) to the total population is 13.1% in 2011, whereas the corresponding figures for male and female children are 13.3% and 12.9%, respectively. Now, around 20 states and Union Territories have over one million children in the 0-6 age bracket. Uttar Pradesh (29.7 million), Bihar (18.6 million), Maharashtra (12.8 million), Madhya Pradesh (10.5 million) and Rajasthan (10.5 million) constitute 52% children in the 0-6 age group.

India's love for a male child has led to cold-blooded murder of three million girl children over the last decade.<br />
<br />
By government's own admission, the ministry of statistics and programme implementation in its latest report on state of children says three million girl children have gone missing in 2011 compared to 2001.<br />
<br />
Even as the world celebrates the maiden &quot; International Day of the Girl Child&quot;, India doesn't seem to be the best place for a girl child.<br />
<br />
Earlier, studies have said five-lakh lakh girls a year or 2,000 go missing in India daily due to female feticide. In families, where one girl child already exists, the chances of a second girl being born are as low as 54%.<br />
<br />
In a family with two female children, the chances of a third girl being born is as low as 20%.<br />
<br />
The ministry says that while the size of child population in the age group (0-6 years) is declining, the share of girls in 0-6 age bracket is declining faster than that of boys in the same age group. There are now 48 fewer girls per 1,000 boys than in 1981.<br />
<br />
The decadal decline in population was also more for female children (3.8%) than male kids (2.4%) in the 0-6 age group.<br />
<br />
Female children in India continue to get a raw deal in most cases.<br />
<br />
Consider, India's infant mortality rate (IMR).<br />
<br />
IMR has declined for males from 78 in 1990 to 46 in 2010 and for females the dip was from 81 to 49 during this period. IMR among female children is higher in most of the years. The per year decline in IMR was 1.6 points for both males and females, and the percentage decline in female and male IMR are 39.5% and 41.02%, respectively, during the last two decades.<br />
<br />
Nearly 62% of the male children aged 12-23 months have received full immunization, while among the females it was only about 60%.<br />
<br />
Crimes against girl children also increased substantially in 2011.<br />
<br />
Among the IPC crimes, an increase of 43% was registered in kidnapping and abduction, while rape cases were increased by 30%, trafficking of minor girls recorded an increase of 27% and feticide reported an increase of 19% over 2010.<br />
<br />
Altogether, 7,112 cases of child rape were reported in the country last year as compared to 5,484 in 2010.<br />
<br />
Also, 132 cases of feticide were reported in 2011.<br />
<br />
The 27% increase in the crime of trafficking of minor girls (862 cases in 2011 compared to 679 cases in 2010) is also very disturbing.<br />
<br />
India, which has a population of 1.21 billion, is next only to China (1.35 billion) as the most populous country in the world. According to the report, India represents almost 17.31% of the world's population, which means one out of six persons on this planet live in India.<br />
<br />
The report says, &quot;Every year, an estimated 26 millions of children are born in India which is nearly four million more than the population of Australia. It is significant that while an absolute increase of 181 million in the country's population has been recorded during the decade 2001-2011, there is a reduction of 5.05 millions in the population of children aged 0-6 years during this period. The decline in male children is 2.06 million and in female children is 2.99 millions. The share of Children (0-6 years) in the total population has showed a decline of 2.8 points in 2011, compared to Census 2001.&quot; According to estimates, in 2011, the total number of children in the 0-6 age group is reported as 158.79 million, which is down by 3.1% compared to the child population in 2001 at 163.84 million.<br />
<br />
The share of children (0-6 years) to the total population is 13.1% in 2011, whereas the corresponding figures for male and female children are 13.3% and 12.9%, respectively. Now, around 20 states and Union Territories have over one million children in the 0-6 age bracket. Uttar Pradesh (29.7 million), Bihar (18.6 million), Maharashtra (12.8 million), Madhya Pradesh (10.5 million) and Rajasthan (10.5 million) constitute 52% children in the 0-6 age group.

Feticide claimed 3 million in the last decade: Govt -Kounteya Sinha

-The Times of India India's love for a male child has led to cold-blooded murder of three million girl children over the last decade. By government's own admission, the ministry of statistics and programme implementation in its latest report on state of children says three million girl children have gone missing in 2011 compared to 2001. Even as the world celebrates the maiden " International Day of the Girl Child", India doesn't seem to be the best place for a girl child. Earlier, studies have said five-lakh lakh girls a year or 2,000 go missing in India daily due to female feticide. In families, where one girl child already exists, the chances of a second girl being born are as low as 54%. In a family with two female children, the chances of a third girl being born is as low as 20%. The ministry says that while the size of child population in the age group (0-6 years) is declining, the share of girls in 0-6 age bracket is declining faster than that of boys in the same age group. There are now 48 fewer girls per 1,000 boys than in 1981. The decadal decline in population was also more for female children (3.8%) than male kids (2.4%) in the 0-6 age group. Female children in India continue to get a raw deal in most cases. Consider, India's infant mortality rate (IMR). IMR has declined for males from 78 in 1990 to 46 in 2010 and for females the dip was from 81 to 49 during this period. IMR among female children is higher in most of the years. The per year decline in IMR was 1.6 points for both males and females, and the percentage decline in female and male IMR are 39.5% and 41.02%, respectively, during the last two decades. Nearly 62% of the male children aged 12-23 months have received full immunization, while among the females it was only about 60%. Crimes against girl children also increased substantially in 2011. Among the IPC crimes, an increase of 43% was registered in kidnapping and abduction, while rape cases were increased by 30%, trafficking of minor girls recorded an increase of 27% and feticide reported an increase of 19% over 2010. Altogether, 7,112 cases of child rape were reported in the country last year as compared to 5,484 in 2010. Also, 132 cases of feticide were reported in 2011. The 27% increase in the crime of trafficking of minor girls (862 cases in 2011 compared to 679 cases in 2010) is also very disturbing. India, which has a population of 1.21 billion, is next only to China (1.35 billion) as the most populous country in the world. According to the report, India represents almost 17.31% of the world's population, which means one out of six persons on this planet live in India. The report says, "Every year, an estimated 26 millions of children are born in India which is nearly four million more than the population of Australia. It is significant that while an absolute increase of 181 million in the country's population has been recorded during the decade 2001-2011, there is a reduction of 5.05 millions in the population of children aged 0-6 years during this period. The decline in male children is 2.06 million and in female children is 2.99 millions. The share of Children (0-6 years) in the total population has showed a decline of 2.8 points in 2011, compared to Census 2001." According to estimates, in 2011, the total number of children in the 0-6 age group is reported as 158.79 million, which is down by 3.1% compared to the child population in 2001 at 163.84 million. The share of children (0-6 years) to the total population is 13.1% in 2011, whereas the corresponding figures for male and female children are 13.3% and 12.9%, respectively. Now, around 20 states and Union Territories have over one million children in the 0-6 age bracket. Uttar Pradesh (29.7 million), Bihar (18.6 million), Maharashtra (12.8 million), Madhya Pradesh (10.5 million) and Rajasthan (10.5 million) constitute 52% children in the 0-6 age group.
