Haryana Sex Ratio, How Humane Particular Society
The sex ratio is the humane index of any society .
It mean how
humane is that particular society. The
Sex ratio is not merely statistics game that how many
women are behind 1000 men. It is beyond this. In this story we try
to set new parameter for word sex ratio in head counting system of
Indian census department.
The sex ratio is very simple word mean number ratio between males
and females of any country or state. It is very vital statistics of
any census report, because on this statistics whole of family
planning & other applied planning of any country or state is
depended. If it reflexes wrong or misinterpretation of any core
statistics, how devastating it can be one can easily
understand.
In this story we have taken case study of Haryana state
(India).
The Haryana has its population 21082989(2001 census). When we
bifurcate this figure in males and females then its as follow
9755311 women, 11327658 men. It simply means there is 861women
behind 1000men in the state as per 2001 census. As compare to this
in 1991 (ten year ago) this sex ratio was 865, which is"4" more
than of 2001 level (861).
The states, center government & all other planning agencies
are claimed working hard to minimize the sex gap of population. The
pre-natal diagnostics techniques Act (PNDT) 1996 was forced by
states & center government to check the misuse of these medical
techniques. More & more grants are given to those NGOs to work
in this field. Particularly in Haryana where govt.
claimed that by
its pro women a programme likes Apni beti apna dhan, Devi rupak
yogna & enforcement of PNDT act has minimize the declining of
women in the statewide. Sex ratio has come down only "4" in 10
years.
But going through further this "861&4"figures stand nowhere
near reality. Which is giving eleventh hour warning to the nation,
where women are worshipped as Durga, Saraswati and luxmi.
which is
clear shown in following table.

According to this table in 1991 the sex ratio among 0-6 years
age group was 870 for state level, 878 for rural&860 for urban
in the state. Where as corresponding statistics to above after ten
years in 2001 has come down to 820,823&808 respectably.
The 0-6 years age group was selected because it is the future
population of state i.
e. which is core deciding factor for national
family planning policies makers to reduce the gender gap in
population of country. But this important factor of census is not
highlighted in Indian census operation in past or in present one.
If we see huge gap between 861/1000 for all ages group population
and 820/1000 for 0-6year age group.
Than even laymen can easily
understand the urgency to fill up the gender gap of population, as
soon as possible to make wheel of growth going for human race in
state & country.
In state how this gender gap is going on the following table is
very useful.

Above table clearly indicate that except two districts nchkula
& Faridabad rest of 17 districts has far less sex ratio in 0-6
years age group population as compare to 1991 level.
Which is very
sad part of our story.
Thus telling half-truth is always harmful. It is better not to
tell rather than half. It makes a man less sensitive towards
situation, which occurs when full truth comes into light.
By
presenting real picture of declining sex ratio to the people, we
can make them think of this problem. Rather by lipstick methods
like PNDT act, Apni beti apna dhan etcetera. There is still gap
left for us to meet.
