The country’s child sex ratio fell from 962 girls per 1,000 boys, to 914 girls per 1,000 boys in 2011.

The Uttar Pradesh government has left unspent about half the funds it was allocated to curb sex selection, according to a recent report of the Comptroller and Auditor General of India. This, in turn, has impacted India’s position in global gender indices.

Uttar Pradesh, India’s most populous state, also records the second-highest fertility rate in the country after Bihar. An average woman here bears at least three children in rural areas, according to the 2013 Health and Family Welfare Statistics report. However, the state is also witnessing a rapid decline in its child sex ratio. For every 1,000 boys aged between 0 and 6 years, the state has 902 girls (Census 2011), down from 916 in 2001 and 927 in 1991. Three decades ago, in 1981, UP recorded a ratio of 935.

Over the same period, the country’s child sex ratio has fallen from 962 girls per 1,000 boys aged 0 to 6 years, to 914 girls per 1,000 boys in 2011.
