As a part of this mission, the SRS Group has announced several sound initiatives for the girl child, which will add value and joy to the child and her family right from her birth. The best part is that they effectively integrate the various brands of the SRS Group, wherever possible, to deliver the advantages.
These key measures include the following:
- Free education, uniform, books and notebooks, school bag and related material to all the girl students of all classes of Government Senior Secondary School, Village Ferozepur Kalan, Ballabgarh
- Scholarships to the registered top 100 girl students from Class VI to Class XII of Faridabad securing more than 80% marks in the 2014-15 session
- Special privileges to the girl children being admitted at the SRS International School, Greater Faridabad
- A Fixed Deposit of Rs 10,000 for the parents blessed with a girl child; and a Fixed Deposit of Rs 15,000 to the parents blessed with a second girl child, provided the birth takes place at SRS Sunflag Hospital, Sector 16A, Faridabad.
Dr. Anil Jindal, Chairman, SRS Group, while launching this said, "We are extremely happy to strongly commit ourselves to PM Narendra Modi Ji's 'Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao' Mission. This social initiative has the power to change the entire socio-economic scenario of our society, and lead us towards greater development and equitable society, and in the long term, take us to a scenario where women contribute equally and strongly to our society's and country's development. No doubt, it will unleash a fresh wave of 'Nari Shakti' for a better India."
"Shri Krishan Pal Gujjar ji, Minister of State - Social Justice and Empowerment, Government of India, and Shri Manohar Lal Khattar ji, Chief Minister, Haryana have taken the responsibility of the PM's lofty mission, and hence, the SRS Group has embraced this mission to make their efforts come true," emphasised Dr. Jindal.
The SRS Group is starting with Faridabad in the first phase and may extend it to other cities as well in the coming times, as its intention is to deploy the initiatives in a concentrated manner to bring about actual change in the area.
The various measures proclaimed under this mission will be administered and managed by SRS Social Welfare Association, and it shall carry them out as a part of the SRS Group's CSR activities.
"For us, this mission is not only about controlling issues such as gender mismatch, but more importantly goes beyond to turn the prevailing disadvantage seen towards the girl child, virtually into an advantage. That's why we are focusing on the development and education of the girl child right from the very beginning, and it is our dream to help make this transition come true," remarked Dr Jindal.
